We have not been able to get this to work either. DW needs a file to end in 
.html in order to know that it can open it. Because your page templates 
wont have extensions of .pt the changes you describe below wont have an 
effect. The advice we got was to give all our CMF content/template 
instances names that end in .html. We're not keen to do this because it 
isn't the way that Zope/CMF were designed to work.

We're looking at alternatives - possibly editing FTP_GET so that it appends 
.html to every filename and FTP_PUT so that it strips it off again - just 
so that DW thinks it's a HTML file. Not sure yet whether this will work.

PS you can 'force' DW to open the file by browsing to the local copy of the 
(template) file using windows explorer, right-clicking and selecting 'Open 
With' (browse to DW).
