Yes, you can use any editor you want with GSoft BASIC.  GSoft programs
can be run in GSoft's environment or from the Orca shell.  You can use
Prizm to edit GSoft code but you can't execute that code from within
Prizm, though.  You have to quit Prizm back to the Orca shell and use
the RUN command to execute the code you've written.  You also don't get
to use Prizm's debugging capabilities.

It should be possible to write a GSoft editor that could execute your
program and then return to the editor but I've never sat down to figure
out how one would do it but it sounds like it could be an interesting
project.
