[kde-edu]: Using Kate or Kedit as IDE for SWI Prolog?

[RalfGesellensetter]

Dear list,

at school, we use swi-prolog in combination with some freeware editor 
(JPrologEdit, java based) to introduce expert systems. I think this is 
a quite widespread approach in grade 11, here.

That freeware editor is not packaged, as there is no source for it.

Things would be easier if we could find a way to embed prolog into some 
intelligent text editor as provided by KDE.

All that is needed is 
- an editor frame (with syntax highlighting), file based.
- a button "consult" rather than "compile" calling a command line.
- a console where you can query the prolog machine after having
  "consulted" your knowledge base.

This should be feasible - but how?

Kind regards
Ralf
