 Erwin's StarOffice Tango
The StarOffice 8 Office Suite includes a (language independent) scripting framework with default support for StarOffice BASIC, JavaScript and BeanShell.
Thus, it is possible to copy and paste code from the StarOffice Developer's Guide directly into the BeanShell editor.

StarOffice 8 (and OpenOffice.org 2.0) now do an excellent job of conforming to things like the High Contrast theme in MS-Windows, or the High-Contrast-Large-Print theme in the GNOME desktop on Solaris and GNU/Linux systems.
It's nice to that at the same time that StarOffice accessibility improves, acceptance and adoption of StarOffice goes up.

Sun's StarOffice (recently purchased from Germany's StarDivision) is an office suite with a long and respectable history in the Linux community.
The StarOffice slogan is "Do Everything in One Place," and the number of features packed into this suite indicate StarOffice's engineers expect the user to do just that.

 eWEEK Labs Review: StarOffice 8: 2
StarOffice 8— the latest version of Sun Microsystems Inc.'s inexpensive, cross-platform office productivity suite—stands up better than ever next to Microsoft Corp.'s market-leading Office in terms of features, extensibility and compatibility.
Several improvements in StarOffice 8 are aimed directly at improving compatibility with Microsoft Office-formatted documents, but converting complex documents between the two suites' formats will in some cases require tweaking to preserve document appearance.
However, StarOffice ships with a Macro Migration wizard that will aid in the migration of Microsoft Visual Basic macros to the StarOffice Basic macro language.

There is also a Basic type called "Any" that the developer's guide doesn't give any hint as to what it is (or could be) used for, although the StarOffice Programmer's Tutorial lumps Variant and Any into the same category, so there may be no difference (buyer beware!).
There is also the fact that the UNO type "type" maps to the Basic construct "com.sun.star.reflection.XIdlClass" (I haven't needed to use this yet, so I haven't really explored it).
The OpenOffice.orgBasic type Object is tailored for pure OpenOffice.orgBasic objects and not for UNO OpenOffice.org Basic objects.
