You need to keep pressing the 'Save Changes' button in the External
Method's management screen, once every time you edit the method!

I found this so irritating that I wrote a small hack to add a tab to the
management interface to activate automatic refreshing; have a look at
my How-To, http://www.zope.org/Members/madcow/ExtMethodRefresh.

I hope you find this useful. I can't guarantee it's 100% bug-free; if
you have any problems please do let me know (not at this address, which
ceases to be valid in 3 weeks; contact me at loefflerdavid@hotmail.com).
