hey sorry not much time.. I got to get my colleagues for lunch...

I just wrote a crappy little script for launching my UltraEdit via mel. (Not without the fabulous help of Joojaa again and again):

CODE
global proc string whatIz(string $command)
{
    string $result = whatIs $command;
    if (gmatch $result "* found in: *")
    {
        string $path = match "[a-zA-Z]:/.*$" $result;
        string $nativePath = toNativePath($path);
        print "This is a Mel-Proc!!\n";

        // line number determination
        $fileId = fopen($path,"r");
        int $lineNr = 0;
        int $procFound = 0;
        string $nextLine = fgetline $fileId;
        while ( (size($nextLine) > 0) && !$procFound)
        {
            if ( gmatch($nextLine,("proc" + $command + "*")) ) $procFound = 1;
            $lineNr++;
            $nextLine = fgetline $fileId;
        }
        // line number determination

        system("start C:/programme/ultraedit/UEDIT32.exe " + $nativePath + "/" + $lineNr + "/0");
        return $nativePath;
    }
    return $result;
}
