And so on.

Maybe one of the Eclipse "power users" here can show me how to do it, and remind me again how dumb I am.

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong. I have always thought of an IDE as a sort of subclass of editor with extra methods, or maybe an example of the Decorator pattern. Now you are telling me that they are different classes altogether, and Liskov is nowhere to be seen.
Seriously, can you give a concise definition of what you think are the differences. This may help explain why my mental model doesn't help me find how to do things, but yours does.
I am using Textpad for this task and didn't even consider using Eclipse.
So your brainwashing is complete.
