macros - does api/basic work?

[yoxi]

Hello there

I've been trying to write a macro that opens a specific CSV file as an Ooo spreadsheet. Since I couldn't see any way to do that using dispatcher code without asking for user input, I've been getting api code from folks over at oooforum.org - but none of it seems to work in Neo/J (or in X11, for that matter).

Before I go on banging my head against the wall, is there something obvious I should know about the difference bettween using this code on winxx/linxx and in OSX? Code blocks that I've been sent that definitely work on other people's winxx setups give BASIC errors on both my OSX platforms.

Any help would be appreciated - or if you can point me to somewhere that I can find this info...?
