How would I change the corner radius inside of the path separately to the outside radius?

When I use the direct selection tool it only allows me to alter the outside radius.

I found that by firstly deleting one of the two anchor points and deleting the handles for the remaining anchor point (therefore making the inside corner square) revealed the widget to manipulate the inside corner.

I think you will find that the two widgets are coincident, and that selecting one or the other, inner or outer, arc with the Direct Selection tool will show its own widget. Since the widgets appear in the same place on the screen, it is not obvious they belong to different paths until you move the one thus revealed; however, if your method does what you want then all is well.

Peter,

For a Stroke there is only one curvature determined by the outer/centre/inner radius depending on the alignment (inside/centre/outside).

You can also see it in the screenshot, the arrow hovering over the centre of the relevant circles.

To have it otherwise, you will have to create a filled border as a Compound Path, setting the roundings of the outer and an inner paths as desired.

It could be done with the Width Tool of course, but it would be difficult/impossible to get it right.

How do I do this?

Your paths already are a compound path, right?

You might need to go into isolation mode. Select only one of them with the direct select tool by clicking exactly on the path. Then right click and "Isolate this path" in the context menu. Please read about isolation mode in the Documentation.
