You put the GUID in the info scripts you want it to be called from
eg:
DEFAULT {551BE51E-9BFA-49a2-AD8C-F59771F2BF34}
It's much easier to write things like emailers using COM, since the same
object remains current throughout the session - you don't have to muck
around with storing the data in temporary files etc. I got a really
nice set of trigger functions running in c# in under an hour.
The class will have to be registered as for any other object - your IDE
will probably do this for you.
