[TYPO3] configuring a plugin via backend

[Antonio Reher]

Hi again... thanks for your help!

I always use the kickstarter to develop extensions and plugins, but when 
I created this particular plugin there were no options to include an RTE 
field to configure it. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but I 
can't see how this would help me with my problem. Maybe I should be more 
precise with my questions to the list. For example:

- where can  I  tell the plugin to use an RTE  texfield  (or any other 
type, for that matter) in the  backend?
- How do I access the data the user enters via BE from inside the 
plugin's php code?
- can I define actions when the user inputs data and saves the plugin 
from the backend?

thanks,
Antonio
