Text Editor cannot write & AdvancedFm cannot copy files

I had so much trouble with Opie a couple years ago that I had to go 
back to my Palm in order to actually do the tasks I needed to do. My 
Palm is now dying, and I am trying to get Opie working on my iPaq 3970 
again.

I have Opie 1.2.1, but am having some of the same problems as I did 
two years ago. Among other problems (which I will write to this list 
later), Opie will not always let me write text files. I noticed the 
problem when trying to install a Chinese font and wanted to edit two 
files:

/home/root/Settings/locale.conf
/opt/QtPalmtop/lib/fonts/fontdir

When I try to save changes made to either of those files, I receive a 
Text Editor error box saying "Write Failed." Actually, if I open Text 
Editor first and then open the file and try to write, then I 
receive "Save Failed." Two different error messages. Why can I not 
save files? I am the root user editing the root user settings.

I just took another look, and found out I cannot save anything with 
Text Editor. Even if I create a new file and save to my documents 
folder, I still receive the error message. And possibly related, I 
also cannot copy either of those files (listed above) to my documents 
folder. If I try that, I receive an AdvancedFm error box 
saying "Could not copy" the file names.

Has anybody else had these problems? I assume so, because I had 
similar trouble two years ago with an older version of Opie.
