The FAQ about starting Calc says (in its entirety)

How can I start Calc instead of Writer ?
By passing “-calc” as an argument on the command line.

I've just installed OpenOffice.org 2.0.app for Mac OS X (with X11).

When (in Mac OS 10.4) I double-click "OpenOffice.org 2.0.ap",
I get a little blue window headed "OpenOffice.org" and another window for Writer,
and a terminal window.

The little blue window apparently contains one button, apparently a script that launches Writer. But nothing else.

1) Is there really no corresponding button for the other modules?

2) The instruction "pass -calc as the argument" doesn't say argument TO WHAT.

In the terminal window, entering:
 /Applications/OpenOffice.org\ 2.0.app [-calc]
gets you only the error message
 : /Applications/OpenOffice.org 2.0.app/: is a directory

(In fact it's a package, which to Unix looks like a directory,
but doesn't act like a single object to the Mac OS Finder.)

3) Is there a simple way to edit the OpenOffice script to provide it a button that invokes the appropriate module (Calc, Write, Draw, Impress, etc)?

Clues would be appreciated...

Does File > New > Spreadsheet not give you Calc?
