How do you save a new file to a hidden folder?
For reference, the hidden folder is /usr/local/php5/lib/php

Get thee into BBEdit worksheets.

bbedit  /usr/local/php5/lib/php/somethingnew
cp somethingeold  /usr/local/php5/lib/php/

Both work fine and they keep you out of the terrible mess that OS neXt has made out of STDFILE.

And. . you can keep the commands in the worksheet for re-execution later with a select and ENTER. (Actually its a select and right click but that's just my mouse preference.)

Worksheets are kinda wonky... pseudo CLI within a file :-)

Do you use worksheets for all your work? Or is there some hidden way to convert a normal text file into a worksheet?

Could you give some examples of why worksheets are more valuable than a text file?

"ls -laG >> myfile.txt" works just as well as "ls -laG" within a worksheet from my experience —especially since BBEdit updates open documents when it activates, though generally cutting and pasting works best for me.
