Thank you for this hint. I did install the extension, but do not see any
add-on-entry, nor an entry on the export drop-down (neither in the OOo
Basic IDE, nor in the document's file menu). So I assume that I am
overseeing the obvious.
If you installed the extension there should be a new button somewhere on the
toolbar. i think for me it was top left-hand corner near the new document
button.
With another post I got a documentation on the package format XCU which
will help me to understand it. If it is feasible to extend Paolo's tool
to cater for other scripting languages (starting out with "ooRexx"), I
will do so. As I am a bit tight on time, it is uncertain, how long it
will take, but the better the docs/hints the less time-consuming it will
be to acquire the necessary knowledge and to work on it.
