Script Extensions and Scope

I'm trying to create an "open/close Excel" script extension.  What I'm finding is that script extensions don't act like regular classes and I can't use a script extension to open Excel, perform operat...

Ok, I've decided to make a new "Excel" object.  The first problem is this:

            <RuntimeObject Name="global">

                <Method Name="run_app" Routine="run_app">

                    <Description>

                        Runs the desired app.  If not found, the script kicks out and writes to the log.

                    </Description>

                </Method>

                <Method Name="close_app" Routine="close_app">

                    <Description>

                        Generic method to close the specified application.

                    </Description>

                </Method>

                <Method Name = "excel_state" Routine = "excel_state">

                    <Description>

                        Generic method to open and close Excel.

                    </Description>

                </Method>

                <Description>Generic global class for methods used by all projects.</Description>

            </RuntimeObject>

        </Script>

<!--

        <Script Name="_excel.js" InitRoutine="Initialize">

            <RuntimeObject Name="Excel">

                <Property Name="Excel" Routine="Excel" GetRoutine="get" SetRoutine"set">

                    Generic method to manipulate Excel.

                </Property>

                <Description>Generic global class for methods used by all projects.</Description>

            </RuntimeObject>

        </Script>

-->



When I un-comment the second script, NONE of the scripts work in TestComplete.  Do you see anything I'm doing wrong?
