Actually, Uniterm 1.8 has that particular option (if memory serves).  You
can run your favorite text editor while still conected to a BBS, for example,
and then upload the file.  I've even used that particular feature to scan
through some ARC files for a piece of relevant information I want to
upload.  In the FILE menu is the option "Run Program".  It works quite
nicely ... although you will have to set up your buffer space so that you
have enough space to run a particular program.  On a 1040ST, a system
buffer size of 200K is not bad.

In 2.0 you can even set things up so that a single keypress (like F1, etc.)
automagically invokes your text editor this way.  The Macro capability in
Uniterm is becoming very, very useful.  You can even set up an equivalent
to the DO files of Flash...
