You can do it, at least for issuing commands. You can write the code to
create a window, provide text editing capability, assemble the strings,
submit them for execution, etc. Output would still go to the "regular"
message window. I suppose you could intercept that, though I'm not sure to
what benefit.
However it sounds like a lot of dang work for effectively the same thing
you already have in opening up a new script window (ctrl-0). Except that
instead of calling the handler you'd just push a button, presumably.
You're welcome to write Xtras for anything you want, but it seems to me
this would be more of an exercise in interest, or an intellectual
pursuit. The return on investment financially would probably be pretty
small relative to the effort involved.
