In BibDesk you can drop raw bibtex on the detail window to fill in
the fields. If you hold down the Option key while you do that it will
overwrite fields.
We won't add an option to view the raw bibtex source. I don't really
see the use from the point of view of bibdesk. All raw string values
are accessible in the editor. Moreover synchronizing would be a real
nightmare.

I think the OP wants some way to view the raw BibTeX file within

Having been forced to use WinXP at work for the last few months, I
discovered Jabref, which seems to be the best thing out there for
Windows, with some nice features, but overall not a patch on BibDesk.
However, one nice feature of Jabref is the ability to drop raw
BibTex onto the "new item"
window (in the correct tab) and have it parse as much as possible,
and fill in
many of the fields.
Perhaps one way to accomplish the OP's desire would be to add a
"raw bibtex source" tab to the BibDesk Edit window, along with
Annote, Abstract, etc. This would be a blank space, to be filled
with a drag and drop bit of BibTeX, or to allow for manual editing
of unruly characters, for example. However, the obvious name for
this tab, "BibTeX" has already been taken, :-(

There's no way to get rid of the list; it's an integral part of
BibDesk. I suspect there was some confusion as to what you were
really trying to accomplish.
I set text in a
Preferences window, but no change. However, opening the file in
TeXShop
produces the usual bib format, so all is well.
If you want to see the underlying BibTeX, you'll have to use a text
editor (TeXShop works for this). The only way you'll see it in
BibDesk is if your file has a serious error, in which case we show a
window that allows you to edit your file manually and try reloading.
