It is certainly possible to launch an external editor e.g. Eclipse does it - sometimes when I don't want it to :-) Parts of Taverna, such as the command line local worker, already run external programs. It sounds do-able. There are at least two types of service that allow script editing - R and the beanshell. Whatever is done for one should probably be done for the other(s) as well. Would users generally prefer an external editor or to use a built-in one? Using an external editor would be less work, long term, for Taverna people to support.
