Coda 2 Syntax highlighting for LC now working

[Peter Haworth]

I spent a few minutes looking into this.  It's pretty easy to grab a
script, write it to a temp file, then invoke the user's editor of choice
passing it the temp file name assuming the editor has a command line option
to do that.

But I couldn't figure out how to automatically get the edited file back
into Livecode and deal with compile errors so I stopped at that point.
