HI Joaquin,
It is used by the AbiCommand plugin which is command line
interface to abiword. You can use it to edit abiword documents from the
command line and as such it is easy to create script srcipt to automate
stuff.
to use it, install the abicommand plugin the start it with
abiword --plugin AbiCommand
and you're greeted with a nice user-friendly command-line prompt! Type in
help to see the list of supported commands :-)
The UnixNull_Graphics class is needed to build a proper set of layout
classes.
Cheers
Martin
