Hi,

you already get the idea:
in kspread we donīt provide a special layer for accessing stuff from outside 
of kspread, but we make the methods callable from outside, so you have to 
collect the information the way you described.

to get access to a cell, you have to do the following:

have a kspread open, then enter this on the command line:

sh-2.05b$ dcop
...
kspread-2669
...
sh-2.05b$ dcop kspread-2669
qt
0x8176220
Application
Document-0
Document/Map/unnamed
KoApplicationIface (default)
MainApplication-Interface
View-0
kspread-mainwindow#1
ksycoca
sh-2.05b$ dcop kspread-2669 0x8176220

[a lot of functions will be listed]

sh-2.05b$ dcop kspread-2669 0x8176220 text
call failed
sh-2.05b$

ahem, for koffice 1.2.1 it always crashes on me, but i donīt have 1.3_beta1 at 
hand, but i guess it will works there...
(bugreport already written.)

i am quite confident that, even if kspread-1.3_beta1 would have that bug, it 
will be fixed quite soon.
