Tobias,
just realized that I had submitted the entire snippet to the OOo snippet
database, which has the benefit that if you click on an UNO class name
or interface name, then you are linked to the official OOo IDL
documentation and can research from right there. Just point your browser
to:
<http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/Office/Office.UseTheOOoPackageManagerToGloballyAddAPackage.snip>
and hover your mouse over UNO class and interface names (messages that
start with a "X").
HTH,
