NetExpress and COM+ - Implement an interface

I'm using NetExpress 4 and need to create a COM+ component. The class wizard
and the MTS demo project are very helpful. However, I am having difficulty
trying to find the syntax that will allow me to implement a COM interface
that is defined in another dll. The only syntax I find in the help files
regarding interfaces doesn't seem to match-up with the syntax in the
generated class. I am assuming it is a dialect difference (2002 standard v.
MF?).

Further details in case it matters - I am using a third-party tool that
defines the COM interface I need and it stuffs the typelib into a .dll. That
dll may also contain some other data that the tool I'm using requires (not
sure about that) but there is no executable code AFAIK. The COM+ component I
need to create needs to implement the interface defined in that dll. I've
done this easily using VB6 and, with a bit more effort, VB.NET. Basically
just set a reference to the dll and add the Implements keyword on the class
definition. I'm hoping there is something straightforward in NX that I just
haven't found yet.

Thanks for any direction you can provide.
