I'm not certian how to edit them otherwise. I am a programmer and so far what
I have done was simply design what I want in a document, save it, then edit,
copy, paste into a simple macro structure into my package. I do want to learn
how to do these things the correct way though. I will work on some of that
today.

That indeed worked, thank you.

That seems like it would be quite the patch. I have never looked at the
TeXmacs sources yet, but maybe I'll see what I can see.
