I use TextMate for things which use $EDITOR, so I have:

export EDITOR="mate -w"

And with this, using the edit command does launch a new TextMate window, waits for it to close and then fills the buffer properly from the tmp file it creates...

I do however get the same behavior you see when EDITOR="vi", dunno why...

One solution is to use TextEdit.app, as in:

export EDITOR=/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit

Best I can do for this now was to create a new preference 'editor' which defaults to the value of $EDITOR, so you can keep using vi for your normal work, and then configure TextEdit.app for groovysh:

set editor /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit
