Stefan, You were correct. I had WinMerge set for the "Unified diff viewer".
When I specified a text editor, I could then edit and save the file.
Simon. You were also correct. Selecting "Show changes as unified diff" in the
Context Menu creates a diff between the selected revision and the previous
revision - not with the working copy.
Oh well, I can always commit my changes, select both the Head and the desired
revision and do a "Show changes as unified diff" on the two revisions.
Thanks very much to you both.
Bob
