Request: UserExit Editor

We are currently implementing a SQLForms3 application, and have found we require a UserExit Text editor, to complete the system.

I don't wish to use the EDIT functionality provided by Sqlform3.

Data to be edited is stored in the following structure

Text_table

text_id number(10)
text_line number(10)
Text char(80)

The test_id column identifies the Text record, the text_line is the line number the text, and the text column, is the text itself.

The system we are replacing copies all the text to a file, then lets the users user vi to edit, finally sucking the edited text back into the system. Yuck.

Has anybody herd of a better solution (even better got the source)

thanks in advance
