You played around with it for a day, and you're telling someone who's used
it for several months that you think he's wrong...

No.  If you ask to edit a remote file, it opens up your local copy.  If you
choose to "Get" it, you can.  There are only two copies of the file.

Btw there are a lot of people who would say that editing a file on a remote
server is a bad idea...! Can't think why... Honestly... No you couldn't
break a site without testing it could you?

:D

I still think that once you get used to anything, you begin to learn how to
work around/avoid the issues inherent in anything.  The only thing I really
want from Studio is it's stability.  Everything else on DWMX is fine by me!

PS the reason I don't use Homesite+ is because it's not CFStudio.  It
doesn't have everything studio had. I don't own a copy of CFStudio (I was a
partner, but you're not allowed to use Partner software for development), so
I can't use that.
