Niether have I,  is there any URLs about this?  One of the gripes I hear
most at our User Group meetings is the lack of any equivalent to
VBS/VBA, no way to automate moving data between applications.  Since
GNOME Basic was declared dead I wasn't aware of any potential
equivalent.

I assume "GNOME Office apps" doesn't include Open Office?
