"$TMTOOLS" help me

For changes 'go to Release Notes'.

As attachment I send two tmCommands illustrating what I'm doing.
HTMLDIALOG is only a "fast written EXAMPLE"! But it should show the  
principals.
The tmCommand doupper is needed by HTMLDIALOG's 'uppercase'.


In HTMLDIALOG I set up
-a get function
-call a bundle item-
-uppercase
-live monitoring of the current scope
-insert a string with the content of an HTML input field
-show a string as Tooltip inside of TM's document with the content of  
an HTML input field

Basically I use HTML to set up the design, and JavaScript to call TM  
via the bridge TextMate.system().

The only tiny hook is that TM beeps if I switch from the HTML window  
back to the front most TM window, in order to get TMTOOLS working. I  
use the shell command:
open "txmt://open?"

I do leave out line and column in order to avoid that TM looses its  
selection.
If someone has a better idea, please let me know.

Comments are welcomed!
