Hello Daniel, Like Dale told, they site contains plenty of information about FME, which is also useful for UT commandline use. I made a MapBasic code for alternative user interface to batch use imut.exe, that is the program behind Universal Translator. It can be found at:
http://www.tut.fi/~joutsini/mipro You might find it useful since all the code and some FME sample files are included. This is interesting topic that many listers have been poking, but never discussed throught out (I think).
