The WorkFrame/2 interfaces (including the editor interface) are open; it's
up to the individual vendors to provide support.  The best way to find
out is to contact the vendor (Brief) and ask them -- if they don't support
WorkFrame/2 yet, request it!

With respect to developing the interface yourself, whether or not this is
possible depends on how much control you have from within the macro
language.  The communication between WorkFrame and the editor is via DDE,
so that would be a pre-requisite.  If you (or anyone) wants the interface
document(*), send me a note.

(*) It's actually an disk, containing the documents and sample code, so
    don't expect me to send it on-line.  You can, however, get a copy
    of the disk at any IBM office.  If you send me a note, I'll explain
    how to get it.
