Hi, I've encountered the same problem, in similar conditions: Windows 2000 and EditPlus as external editor. After some changes saved via FTP, IE cannot access the management console. However, it works with Netscape/Opera. I don't know if it's a Zope bug, but I'd like to know how to fix it - or at least where it comes from.
