[ANN] MLXEditor - runrev plugin for script editing with ANY external editor app

[Ken Ray]

Alex,

It looks good, but when you say "enter a Transcript command that opens a
temporary file", what do you mean? I tried:

  launch "c:\program files\textpad 4\textpad.exe"

And it launched TextPad, but not with the script. Can you give an
example?
