What sort of messages do you see?  Many warnings can safely be  
ignored, but syntax errors definitely have to be fixed.

You can't explicitly save from that window; it goes to great lengths  
to keep you from overwriting your original file when hand-editing.

Reopen will open the file as you edit it, first creating a temporary  
file.  The Refresh button will reload the file from disk, in case you  
edited it by other means. Both buttons should have tooltips that state  
this if you hover the mouse over the button (we use tooltips fairly  
extensively).
