[Portfolio] Question about editor in forms for OSP

What I meant to say was....

The editor config changes are in the custom richText-field template in
formCreate-wysiwyg.xsl in authoring/xsl.

Some changes I see:

The editor is displayed a little bigger (600px x 460px)
There are custom skins that style the editor content based on the selection
of theme field on the form
The content is periodically autosaved on the client side
There is a custom toolbar to hide/show the Sakai tool menu and maximize the
size of the editor
The editor is the focus (cursor placed in that field)

There is a custom config.js and portfolio.js file  that are used as well.
