I figured this out, although I don't understand why this is the way it is.

I was going into the "View Code" option (this is from memory, but I believe that's it) where you can see all of the code in one window for all of the objects for a package. I made adjustments there and saved this code. When I went back to the individual objects and looked at the code behind those objects via the graphical view of those objects, the changes I'd made in the "Code View" window for the objects were indeed there.

It appears however, that if you don't make those changes to the objects within the graphical view of the objects where you right-click them and click "Edit" and then "Edit Scripts" (I think that's it) to see the code behind the object(s), the changes you've made don't truly "stick". Doesn't make any sense to me but that appears to be the way this works.

Why then do they give us a "View Code" option to see all of the code and actively be able to edit the code if the code truly isn't committed or saved unless you make those changes via the graphical interface of getting to the underlying code that way? Doesn't make sense.

Anyway, thanks for the input here. I know how to get around this going forward it seems.
