OpenCms is focused to display the content in templates - which is a bit 
in oposition to display complete "free" HTML pages. Therefore you can 
have pure HTML pages in your system but the editing posibilities are 
limited as you have discovered.

What might be woth a look is the "Extended HTML Import" feature. With 
it, you can import exiting HMTL pages into OpenCms and integrate them 
into templates to get benifit of all the CMS features like link 
management etc.
The template you use could be an "empty" template, one that does not put 
any additonal HTML around your imported pages. With that, you could 
could easyly manage exiting HMTL pages.

Kind regards,
