The KDCOPProcertyProxy class like the KDCOPRef and friends is very nice but 
also very useless for this type of scripting.  The problem is normal humans 
cannot demarshal this data.  Unless something cool happend to them this week 
I think this sort of API duplication is an ugly fact of life...

Unless you can think of a better way to proxy these functions into plain text?
I have not read the API docs in a week so things may have changed.
