Even though he only writes in OOBasic, you are right that he explains 
the basic concepts needed for accessing the api from any language. He is 
also honest. Writing non-api code is relatively easy; accessing the 
OO/LO api is harder. I made a start. When I get further, I will look at 
the examples that are close to some things I want to do. I will also 
study your Python examples. Thanks for the help.
