   This table outlines user roles (http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Capability_vs._Role_Table). It indicates that Editors are indeed able to moderate comments (moderate_comments).

   I'm assuming this means: Approve/Spam/Delete/Edit etc?

   I have an Editor user set up on my install, but they can't do any of the above. I wonder whether someone else with a 2.8.5 install could confirm this is the case?

   Thanks,

   Does anyone have any pointers on how I could go about modifying this manually via the core php files?

   You should be able to edit. I might be bold, but you might want to download Role Manager and try to see if that works for your editor.

   This might help your WordPress allow your editor (if you want them to be able to edit posts) and any other abilitiess (roles) you want them to have access to.

   This plug-in (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/) is the reason my functionality had been pulled. Disabling it solved my problem.

   @blondishnet Thanks for your input on this - appreciated. I'm thankful I didn't have to install a plugin to fix core functionality though :]
