collections

I am trying to access the items of a collection, or to create a
Enumeration for the collection, but don't seem to get anywhere.

If I am wasting bandwidth with a stupid question, please simply point me
to some stuff to read.

In detail, I want to find out the properties of drives. I have managed to
get this far with a lot of trial and error:

DispatchPtr fso = new DispatchPtr("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
DispatchPtr drives = (DispatchPtr) fso.get("Drives");

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/script56/html/jscoldrives.asp the next step would be to create an
Enumeration over drives, but I cannot seem to do it.

I tried to mimick some approaches the I found on this list to access
individual members, but failed with various errors, e.g.:

Object[] drives = (Object[]) drives.invokeN("Item",
                        new Object[] { new Integer(i) });

I am completely lost here, because I am not experienced with Windows
scripting. The Jawin javadoc is not much help, either.

I know that the collection has a property named Count that matches the
expected number of items:

Integer numDrives = (Integer) drives.get("Count");

Thanks in advance,

PS: It seems that this question was already posted to the list over a year
ago, but never answered:
