You have just described the problems with WebDAV... but the WebDAV group found a way to deal with the limitations. Which even works well with revision management systems. (There is a DAV server available in SqueakMap, though I haven't yet checked to see if it can handle sending the entire implementations of class and instance variables.)
itsme213: There is a fairly complete vi-type implementation available on SqueakMap. I'm not sure what environment you're most familiar with.

Is there an easy way, within squeak itself, to open a text editor on an entire class and simply edit the file and "save" the entire file (equivalently, "file-in" the string-buffer). I find I am quicker with this than all the mousing around, specially when making a new class.
I know I can file-out and file-in, but I am looking to avoid those steps.
Making a textual snapshot of a Smalltalk class, editing it, and filing back in would be roughly equivalent to printing a photograph, editing it with a pencil, and scanning back into the computer. The class browser is a view onto the live class object, even though it appears to be a categorizing text editor. It's not.
