2,103 PointsI downloaded the zip files, but am unsure how to open them & what to do in order to edit them like he is doing. Help?
Please help explain how to open the screen that he is at, so I can edit the javascript that he is.

2,103 PointsOkay. Once I open them in text edit, what next? How do I edit them and refresh like he does on the Javascript Basics video. Is he using workspaces? I guess I'll use that...
