Adding an existing source code to a text editor

HI! I purchase a source code element from a company and I want to completely redesign and rework it. How do I add the code to my text editor to do just that?

It depends on your editing software, and perhaps also your operating system. But most Windows editors/IDE's will have a "file" tab at the left of the main menu bar, and an "open" selection in the drop-down exposed from clicking on "file".

Inside your "open" dialog you can navigate to where you have saved the source file on disk and open it to begin editing.

HI yes! The company used lynx operating system. Must I download that program first to allow the source code to open at all?
