 * I’m developing a plugin where I’d like to use wordpresses
    html editor instead
   of a textarea html form field. How do I incorporate the editor into my plugin?

 * This must be something really difficult to do.
 * I found the_editor() works sort. The javascript doesn’t work
    to toggle in and
   out of html mode. Nor do the buttons to add media files.
 * Does anyone have a solution or am I falling on deaf ears?

 * SOLVED.
 * Just downloaded tinymce. Put in a subdirectory off of my plugin.
    Copied in the
   javascript code and bingo bango I have a wysiwyg text editor. much better than
   the wordpress one.
 * I do believe wordpress should have a standard function call
    to bring in its 
   html editor.
 * of course what do i know.
