Hi Thanks for that, but I'm working on an integrated PHP/HTML/MySQL site which I really don't want to have to replicate on my laptop just so that I can edit it in that sort of mode. You might well be right that I am just using the wrong tool, though I've used BBEdit + Fetch for this sort of thing for years. I'm not surprised that there is no way to do what I want more easily, it's clearly not the workflow the BBEdit designers were intending. I'll take a look at Coda.
