[R-SIG-Finance] Is there a way to automate Bloomberg?

[Michael Jungle]

Is there a way to automate Bloomberg?
Typing all those same buttons daily is really boring.
Anybody know if I could automate BB?
For example:
Currently I do the following manually:
I use Matlab to generate some of my own price data (write into an Excel
sheet),
and then I use BB's Customized Index Uploader to upload my own price Excel
sheet into BB,
And need to fill a few blanks, click a few buttons, assign a new name, etc.
so I could plot it with other data.
What's the best way to automate the above process?
I don't think BB's own macro can handle ALL of these things, am I right?
I mean, it can do a small portion, by creating a customized button, 
but I want to automate the whole process, including the "Matlab generate
Excel file" part, 
(btw, this also applies to using R to interface with BB, which is the reason
why I post here...)
Thanks!
