I constructed a resource file with about 10 trees and a lot of editable fields
within dialogs using resource.prg.  It gave some funny behavior.  When
decompiled with the utility provided by Mark Williams Company, it had some
obvious errors, and an attempt to compile the decompiled file crashed my
ST.  The people at Mark Williams Company have identified the problem (although
they didn't seem anxious to tell me what it was: I suspect it involves the
cavalier treatment of default text, validation strings and templates).  They
tell me it took some unusual bad luck to activate it, and that it will be fixed
in the next release.  Until then, whenever a resource constructed with the
Mark Williams resource construction program behaves strangely, it's probably
a good idea to look at what it decompiles to.  Look particularly for trees
with duplicate (and incorrect) names >in the decompilation<.
