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. 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.
