VRML editor for WinXP

Hi all,

For my 4th year Software Engineering course project, I'm 
implementing an application to evaluate and demonstrate the capabilities 
of ARToolkit. 

I'm currently looking at finding a way to let the user edit a VRML file 
from the ART environment. The user would press an "Edit" button next to 
a VRML object, which should launch a VRML editor where the user can then 
edit the object. The simplest (and only) way that has come to my mind 
for doing this would be to associate files with a .wrl extension to the 
VRML Editor in the Windows environment and then calling ShellExecute with 
the "open" verb to launch the application.

Problem is, I've not run across a free VRML editor that lets me do this. 
Spazz3D and XYZ editor don't allow .wrl files to be opened directly (they 
have to be imported), while Seamless3D and VRCreator don't want to run on 
my machine.

Does anyone know of a free VRML editor I haven't mentioned, so I could 
give it a try.

All help very much appreciated.

Regards,
