Hi!
I'm new to this group, and I come with an odd request...

I'm using VMware Fusion, and would like to use a Windows text editor
from BBEdit-compliant apps (in particular an authoring tool that can
open scripts at a certain line number).
Right now if I tell this tool to use my Windows app (in fact an app
that Fusion created, but let's not complicate things), the file will
open twice: I'm guessing it's because the tool calls an event "open
file X", then a second event "go to line N", events which of course
the Windows app doesn't understand at all.

So all I need is a dummy editor in OSX, that would pick up the line
number. From there I can launch the Windows app with a custom command-
line or whatever, no problem.
I don't know much about the OSX API or XCode, I've had a look at the
ODB Editor Suite doc (http://www.barebones.com/support/develop/
odbsuite.html), but that's not enough to get me started (it's mainly
aimed at how to serve BBEdit events, not so much listening to them).
I'm not even sure I need to make a "real" application, maybe an
AppleScript is enough to pick up events?

If someone can point me in the right direction, I learn fast :) !
Cheers,

Ben
