Its the same as on Windows except you use the mac-equivalent of notepad/wordpad.

I was just about to ask this. I tried it and Textedit does work (i didn't think it would).

I have to say... my minimal coding abilities were no match for those symbols that weren't even on the keyboard.
Looks like I got some learning to do.

EDIT: Okay, that is DEFINITELY not how any coding language is supposed to look like. i think i just opened a weapon's form instead of the coding... Jeez I hate starting out...

You probably tried to open the .dts. Open the .cs.

Scripts end in .cs, GUI (menus and stuff) end in .gui and models end in .dts (which can only be created using modelling programs), and bricks end in .blb - you can edit them all with a notepad except the dts.

Use Smultron or Unitron.
