I'm not so sure about the OT designation. Apple's Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW) is the best programming environment I have ever used. BBEdit worksheets are a start but are not nearly as flexible. emacs is another option but it still doesn't approach MPW with its window = file metaphor. MPW allows one to execute a shell command by selecting it and using the ENTER key. Output from the command, which can be a named file or an open window, can be redirected to any other open window or to a file. A start for an editor is Apple's TextEdit for which Cocoa source is available. There is still an active MPW group and there is regular talk about getting MPW carbonized for OS neXt. Apple is not responding and makes it clear that it doesn't want to and won't release the source. It is likely that you could find support for your effort on the MPW mailing list <http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/mpw-dev> especially if you are interested in making the editor a real shell while you're at it. Note that the source for tcsh is available from Debian with public license provisions. -- --> The best programming tool is a soldering iron <--
