EventGhost

I have used Windows Remote Desktop Connection to run EventGhost (0.3.5c.908) without a problem on the remote host until I tied to change a Python script contained in an EventGhost macro on the remote machine. I seem to able to do everything (execute, rename, delete etc) but could not edit the script ...

Thanks for your helpful response.
