ExternalTextTableau
ptolemy.actor.gui.ExternalTextTableau

A tableau representing an external text editor (for now emacs only, with the gnuserv package installed).

This is just a demo form. TextEditorTableau should really be made abstract and have different implementations depending on user preferences. ExternalTextTableau should not really derive from the java swing Frame based TextEditorTableau. The interface of the abstract TextEditorTableau should support both swing JFrame based editor and external text editor classes. Note that one could send signals (events) back to this class for example if the buffer associated with this "tableau" is deleted or updated or "Saved As". This could be achieved by adding special "hooks" to emacs' file operation hook lists...
