Just to press a bit further - is the JavaScript Editor native to RDi,
or is it an external editor. Even an external editor will open in a
tab in RDi, so this might not be clear.

I think it's important to differentiate between an external editor (an editor that is launched as part of the operating system and not part of RDi or eclipse), an editor that is part of Eclipse but not specific to RDi, and editors that are part of RDi.

I _suspect_ the only editors that would be able to work with the IFS are those that are specific to RDi ... as they would have to download & upload the files. LPEX is such an editor.

An editor that is part of Eclipse, but not specific to RDi, can edit things that are already downloaded ... but I'm not sure they would be able to upload the edited data.

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
