How can I interact with IBM Rational DOORS from MATLAB?

I would like to interact with IBM Rational DOORS from MATLAB. I've found documentation on linking Simulink models with DOORS requirements (<http://www.mathworks.com/help/slvnv/ibm-rational-doors-traceability.html>), but I'd like to interact with DOORS and extract requirements directly from the command line without having to use Simulink.

I started going down the path of using ActiveX to control DOORS, and I can at the very least open the tool using "actxserver('DOORS.Application')", but beyond that further interaction is not intuitive. I've used ActiveX to control PowerPoint and Excel previously, but I can't find documentation on using it to control DOORS.

I recognize I may be able to interact with the Requirements Management Interface built-into MATLAB using the rmi function, but the documentation is not clear. Does anyone have experience interfacing with DOORS and can you provide a simple How-To startup guide?
