I need to know how to edit regular text within a block that has attributes? I have looked at the Block Attribute
Manager and tried ATTEDIT. These just edit the attribute information. I need to know how to edit regular autocad
text that is part of a block without having to explode the block to change it. Is there a script I can use to do this?

Gosh... I know this isn't much help, but there is a way, and I knew how to do this!
I just can't remember! If it comes to me, I know where to post it!

Here is a lisp routine that I think will do what you want. I can't take credit for it, tho. Just write your script to load the lisp and then run it. The original code was written to point to a replacement text. I revised it for keyboard entry of the replacement text. I left the original in, just commented it out, in case you prefer that option. Just remove the semi-colon in front of line 5 and add one back in at the front of line 6 to revert to the original.

The AutoCAD command "RefEdit" might due what you want, also, but I don't consider it very scriptable.

I hope this helps !
