I created a test file in the Meta Editor and was able to open the subsequent .ex4 file in the Meta Editor after it was compiled.

But when I tried opening an .ex4 file that was sent to me (to edit some of the parameters) I cold not open it - came up with gobbledegook. Is this because the file is locked or password protected?
