The ZMI is not editable through the Web.

When you want to edit it, you would use a standard editor
and edit the files implementing the ZMI.
Most of these files are located in "OFS/dtml" and
"App/dtml".

Be warned, however, that this modification of Zope sources
can make upgrades more difficult.
We use Zope from CVS. This allows to have (moderate) modifications
and still be able to upgrade easily.
