Here's an answer for you, from Mr Edit himself.
Ali

Each element of the tags path is a name of a tags file. The file
name can be an absolute path, as in /Home/me/tags, or a relative
path, like ../tags. Relative paths are relative to the directory
of the file in the key window.  Each element of the tags 
path is separated by a colon, so a sample tags path might be:

/Home/me/tags:./tags:../tags

When changing the tags path, use the Preferences command in the
Window menu.  Clicking the OK button in the Preferences panel will 
register the new tags path.

To invoke a tag, you can select a word in an Edit window and 
choose the Source... command in the Utilities menu.  If you 
have an empty selection, Edit will prompt you with a window
for you to type in the token you want to search for.

There is currently a bug in the 0.9 version of Edit where you
need to make sure that the Regular Expression switch in the
Find panel is turned on before you do a tags lookup. This will
be fixed in 1.0

If you can't seem to find a tag, grep the tag files to make sure
the thing you're looking for is in there. If it is, then 
there probably is a bug in Edit, and a bug report would be 
appreciated.
