Simple

a) Open the stylesheet in the cms admin
b_select all
c) copy
d) paste the contents to a new file in notepad
e) upload that file to something.css in your cms root directory
f) change the template to point to it with the appropriate tag

CMS doesn't limit what you can do, we just attempt to organize it.  and to separate content from design.

Thanks for your super quick reply.

I don't really think thats what I'm looking for.

If I upload it separately like this then there's no way for another user come in to edit that something.css file in CMSmadeSimple, right?

If there's no way to do that, I guess I'll just have to go this route?

oh so you want it as an external file, AND to have the ability for other users to edit it via a gui?

CMS doesn't allow for that.

You could try the tags from the cache plugin:

There you'll have temporary external files and can edit still edit the css via CMSms.

And there is a static_stylesheet tag which sounds like it might do what you're after (but which I've never used so hey I may be talking rubbish again).
