FEATURE REQUEST: External Toolbar

Never had to do this before but I would assume that you would have a button 
outside the iframe like 

<div class="button" id="dostuff" link="myeditor">DO stuff</div>
<textarea id="myeditor" class="rte"></textarea>

and some javascript something like 
<script>
$("div#dostuff").click(function(){
  var ed = $(this).attr("link");
  $("#"+ed).iframe.exec_command(........);
});
</script>

basically you can access and modify the content of an iframe because it is off 
the same domain so you can do alert(iframe.body.innerHTML) to look in an iframe 
 and 

var el = parent.getElementById("dostuff");
el.innerHTML = "stuff done";

to modify the parent window from inside the iframe with javascript.

hope this helps
