Ter files contain non-relative filenames

Hi,
I tried to use the demo game as a starting point for my own, including the features.ter file in the missions directory. But this appears to contain filename references that are not truly relative - they include the 'demo' directory in the name, hence I can't copy it into a new game. Obviously I can edit it in a binary editor, providing my new game also uses a 4-letter name, but surely there's a better way?
Also, is there a version of world editor available that allows you to resize the window? I can't even adjust the splitter between the preview pane and the properties pane, hence I can't read most of the property values without selecting each one individually and scrolling through it.
Oh...one last question...how does the world editor decide what missions you're allowed to load? When I launch it from the tutorial.base game, I get one set of missions I can load from the File menu, but a different set when using the demo game.
TIA
Dylan

Hmm, ok it seems you can load anything from the project directory, or from 'creator' and 'common'. Hard to understand why, but at least now I understand how it works.
