Only SpecsIntact .sec format files can be opened in the Editor.  The Editor's Open Command includes a utility for converting non-SpecsIntact files to .sec format.  When a file is selected to be opened that is not an .sec file, the File Not in SpecsIntact Format dialog box will give you the options of either editing without converting the file in Notepad, or converting it to the SpecsIntact Format.
