I'm not familiar with either program, but my guess is you want to make  
a new set of objects (if you can't find the objects you want in other  
sheets) -- that is, a new directory in the objects directory. Then  
you'd want something to output to Octave, probably an export plug-in  
or possibly a plugin that can communicate with Octave. The latter  
hasn't been tried before, but should be doable. Could you make a mock- 
up of how you'd like it to look and work?
