Hi.
What are you trying to achieve.
I have to run a script to convert all older documents on our server to 
newer ODF format. I am going to do that by regression into the directory 
specified as the parameter to the script when called. I haven't got 
round to it yet as it is not required until I update LO, but is that 
what you are after.
