If you mean in the management interface...there is a checkbox, 'Expand
macros when editing', in the Edit view of a page template (upper right,
just below 'Browse HTML Source' link).  Uncheck it and the macros won't
be expanded.  It is also available in the Properties view of a page
template (Name == Expand, a boolean) - and in 2.4.1, it seems to work
better in Properties.  The Edit view one seems to have some bugs with
taking effect right away.

Not sure what you mean by 'on the command line'...

There's no source control built in, but you can always edit in your
favorite editor and upload to zope using the File upload form (and
download using the 'View or Download current text' link just above the
upload form).

I suppose combining this with using a version would be a sort of kludgy
source control system...
