How to open a RED file
You can open and edit a RED file with various source code editors, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code with the Red extension (multiplatform) and GitHub Atom (multiplatform). Since RED files are saved in plain text, you can also open and edit them with a plain text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad (bundled with Windows) or Apple TextEdit (bundled with macOS), but they do not provide helpful source code editing features.
After you've finished editing your RED file you can compile the source code with the Red console by selecting File → Run... .
