Why shouldn't you have your full OS tools available? My client can call out to an external editor for editing code, etc. You want emacs, you've got it. When you are doing an entire scenario, you do it with source files - not all on line. That way, you can make major changes in a reasonable fashion. So, you can use 'grep', 'sed', 'perl', whatever turns your crank. Having full on-line programming available doesn't mean that you *have* to do everything that way. It sure helps debugging though - you can edit a routine online and try it out, without having to rebuild the whole system. You can also fixup minor boo-boos to check that stuff does work properly after those fixups.
