 From the OpenScad mail list
"it is possible to use an external editor by opening the file in both
OpenSCAD, File->Open, and in your editor, vi xxx, and then enabling
Design->Automatic Reload and Compile in OpenSCAD. It seems that every time
you write the file from within your editor OpenSCAD will see the change,
reload the file, compile it and show the results in its render window. It
cleans things up a bit if you View->Hide Editor."

Just tried it out on windows and Linux and it works great in a variety of
editors.  Lets you have a full screen for the render window and use you
favorite editor.
