IMHO, Using RTE for TS Editor bad idea. RTE works only with HTML and
nothing else, and have fixed behavior during editing text.
It will require:
1) Code TS syntax to view in HTML
2) Disable standard browser behavior for RTE (if it possible at all)
3) Write on fly JScipt code transformation (TScript -> HTMLed TScript ->
   TScript)

I have agree with Dmitry... This is very hard to implement.

I suggest to use Flash for this task. Flash is standard de facto,
quick, small size, rich in functions.
