i delete the two lines i don't want included in the blurb, hit save, and get the 501 error.
You have 2 choices when editing these files

1) you can edit them locally on your computer and then upload/FTP the edited file to your server.

2) you can use the define pages editor in the Zen Cart admin.
If you choose this option, you need to make sure that file on your server is writable (chmod the file to 777 before you begin the edit)
Once you've edited and saved the file you will need to reset the file permission(s) to 644.
