This is far too small for my liking, and I've found that the Taller/Wider buttons only work once - the result is still too small. My question is: can I alter the default height and width in the Zope source somewhere - if so where? (And why don't the change-size buttons work more than once?)

Hmm, it has worked for me on all browsers and platforms I've tried. What browser version on what OS are you using?

A second query is - can I save the DTML from the edit view to a file, edit the file, and then upload the result to replace the original DTML? (Which might be far faster than using the browser window's non-existsent editing abilities :-)

I agree that the TEXTAREA sucks as an editor. Even if we improved it by, say, including a Java editor applet like jEdit, it still wouldn't be *your* editor. These are highly personal decisions, which means there will never be *one* IDE. There are methods that give you a text-only version of the body sans management screen, though I don't know what they are. With ZServer, a GET on a document returns the contents and only the contents. Ultimately (meaning within the next two or three weeks) WebDAV will allow you to easily get at, from a Python script, whole chunks of a site. --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul@digicool.com 540.371.6909
