Hey all,

Is there a way to edit the source code in RW? I can view it, of course, in RW but can’t seem to edit it.

I assume the only way to edit them is to download the files the RW creates and edit them in the fav editor, but want to ensure I was not missing something to be able to edit them in RW itself.

Thanks.  
Blessings,  
—Mark
