Dreamweaver imports existing pages and leaves them intact.  The code stays
as it is... which is also great.  It doesn't change anything you don't want
changed.

As for your Fireworks question, like I said, I haven't had a chance to try
it out yet, but I think it's probably very good.

As for price, I don't know what Fireworks costs, but Dreamweaver retails
for $299, and it's worth the price, IMO.
