No, I don't think any ECLiPSe-specific things are done with the editing 
and display of Saros at the moment.

tracer_tcl.ecl is used by both the Tcl/Tk development environment and 
Saros -- the same set of tools are provided, and the ECLiPSe side code 
is the same for both. It was developed initially for Tcl/Tk, which is 
why the file is named as such. However, the generic hihg-level interface 
(to Tcl/Yk and Java) is designed to be language independent on the 
RCLiPSe side, which is why the same code could be reused when Saros was 
developed.

Cheers,
