This might be wishful thinking, but is there a way to call the SBBS built-inãeditor from a Javascript process? I would love to have the ability to call theãbuilt-in editor in much the same way one would call getstr. That is, you wouldãhave the option of passing in text to edit, and then the built-in editorãwould return the edited text as a string to the calling process.

Thoughts?ããAlmost, and you can do it...ããconsole.editfile() and system.temp_dir are a good place to start. Though Iãdon't see a function to generate a temporary filename, so you'll want to eitherãdo that or put it in the node directory instead.ãã--- ãSynchronet - Jump on the Web 0.2 bandwagon!ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ My Brand-New BBS (All the cool SysOps run STOCK!)ã
