RTC editor - must be simple, but can't see it :(

Hello there!
What a lovely discovery this forum is! Too complex for me though, it's a whole new dungeon in itself. It took me 20 minutes to find the 'post new topic' button itself
Incredible work and enthusiasm, most impressive. Anyway, to make things short - i've actually read the base defaults to avoid asking stupid questions, but sometimes it seems inevitable, it's like missing a secret button in the dungeon . I've been playing DM since ever, in cycles, for 20+ years, but this time i've found this site. What a discovery. Now i've seen for the first time that you can be archmaster, never got past the first or second master levels. Since i hate editing my characters directly, i tried to do the following thing with RTC editor - to edit DM_original - on level 9 to add a few additional rat generators in that room to cut short the training time. i copied the settings of the original generator and trigger competely, didnt work. Then i said, ok, let's make it as simple as possible - i took the existing one and simply changed the rat's hit points to 8000, to avoid the constant walking and triggering. Still doesnt work. Checked the 'editing readme' file, added the compile line, for modules/dm_original (at the bottom). no error reports, nothing, 100% clean. yet the rat dies in 3 strokes, i.e. it still has 300 hitpoints. can anybody tell me what i am doing wrong? I tried to save the dm_original.txt under a different name to get a new dungeon to choose with only that one tweak, it passed all the checks, compiles etc., but the menu in rtc.exe never shows it. Obviously i am missing something. Can i do such a small twaek at all or did i miss something really important? If anyone answers, thank you very much!
