A little-known "feature" of AppleLink is that when "working offline" you
can type Clover-Option-E and get an editor window open on the currently-
selected .CCL file.  Changes can be saved using the "Save" menu command.

Hope this helps.  Note that since this feature is NOT documented anywhere
I know of, my telling you this does NOT constitute an warranty that it
will work now or ever.  But if it does happen to work for you, it might
save you some time.
