> i think thats what I want, but why cant I edit it afterward? He means after you run asmcomp() on it. Asmcomp() shrinks the file to half the size and edit-locks it. There's no easy way to open an asmcomp'd file. You don't have to run asmcomp() on it before you run it, but it's probably a good idea after you're sure you're done so that you can save the memory and so that someone doesn't accidentally screw it up.
