    Downloaded the last openoffice 1.1.1 and was surprised by the
    improvements of macro-building.

    First I have to say I am pretty green about Basic scripts, so I did as I
    would do in ms-Word and use the macro-recorder.

    Let us say I have a user want to save directly do a diskette. You have
    a Openoffice macro in basic:

    REM ***** BASIC *****
    sub Main
    rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    rem define variables
    dim document as object
    dim dispatcher as object
    rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    rem get access to the document
    document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
    dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
    rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:SaveAs", "", 0, Array())
    end sub

    Is it possible before saving the document to have a line that calls
    bash-shell 'mount /mnt/floppy' ? And after the document is saved
    'umount /mnt/floppy'?
    Or is it completely impossible to connect OpenOffice basic scripts to
    bash-shell
