Binding events to handlers

I wish to capture events generated by an atomation object in a VB script executed
in WSH.
On msdn I've found how to do this in Visual Basic, but I can't figure how to do
in VBScript.
For example in the following script, how can I bind the OnQuit event of
InternetExplorer object with an suitable handler? I suppose I've to define a class
but I don't know how.

Option Explicit
Dim IE

Private Sub IE_onclick()
IE.navigate " http://www.*-*-*.com/ "
End Sub

Sub IE_onQuit
MsgBox("IE quitted")
End Function

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.navigate "about:blank"
IE.visible=True
Set IE.Document.onClick=getref("IE_onClick")

MsgBox("Click here to finish ")
Set IE = Nothing

Binding events to handlers

You have to use the WScript.CreateObject method and not the VBScript
CreateObject function. The second argument is handler prefix.

Set IE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application","IE_")

just not from script...
