This is indeed the case. There's apparently a bug with the Resource Library:
if you use RsrcLoad in a DA, it wastes a considerable amount of memory
(about 40K). TDI Modula-2 comes with a program called the Resource Embedder,
which turns a resource file into Modula-2 code. If you're using another
language, you'll pretty well have to do it yourself.
My original remark about menus was imprecise. I was specifically referring
to what you can do on the Mac, where a DA can install a menu on the menu
bar, unbeknownst to the host application. The "Keycaps" DA on the Mac uses
that to add a "Font" menu. I don't know how that can be done on GEM.
