Hmm, how about a menu option allowing editing text with an external

The same would make life for programmers a easier with the scripting
framework editor as well.
Just for the case, that somebody wants to work on this. The key problem
with the integration of external editors or IDEs is, that those editors
work on the disk file system and cannot work on virtual file systems.
The Basic IDE works on some kind of virtual file system, for document
macros especially on the document storage.
well that is knd of easy to solve, just do it as many other clients that
allow external editors to edit files on a virtual filesystem, for
example ftp/ssh clients type of programs..
They just save down the file to the local harddisk, and then monitors
this file for changes,and also monitors the application that it started
to see when it exits... whenever the file has changed it puts back the
file to the server, this can be done in OOo also, it takes the macro
virtual file and saves it to a temporary file, opens the editor so that
it edits this temporary file, and monitors the file for changes,
whenever it has been changed to reads the file back and puts the content
back to the virtual filesystem..
I know it is not a perfect sollution, but it is better then nothing
