This is NOT complete, but it is updated. I am in the process of writing 
a new version.

Do you know about Object Oriented Programming? For obvious reasons, 
OOo/LO is built using objects. If you look at the code that is LO, these 
objects are used and manipulated.

The idea behind UNO is that I can access those internal LO objects 
directly. The tricky part is that when you get an object that is one of 
those internal LO objects, it typically supports many services and 
interfaces. You then need to understand how those services and 
interfaces tell you how to use the object.

I think that my head is beginning to hurt.
