I'm kicking the email server as we speak. It seems to be an issue on my 
end. The code is at home, will send tonight. In the meantime, did you 
look at Fugu? The source is at http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/ 
and it does support External Editors. Might be worth a shot.

If I read the docs correctly, it's an alias. I need to dig deeper into 
the Fugu code, I guess.

I'll see what I have on that part.
