Colin,
I wasn't so much thinking of the Monticello UI, but of the development
environment generally. Even once Brian has basic file level support
running, none of the UI will work, so the only way to update the image
would be to file in code using the scripting interface and save the
image. This is not a very productive environment to work in. I tried
it for the first part of my ANSI exceptions development, but then I'm
a bit of a masochist ;). It gets old pretty quickly and I wouldn't
really recommend it.
