Hi folks,
Yesterday I made a new 19 item dialog using ResEdit.  I had 19 boxes
with staticText in them.  No problem.  Later that same evening I
realized that I wanted to change a few item numbers, so (not wanting to be
bitten twice) I made an Rmaker script to do the dialog creation.  When
I put up the dialog created by Rmaker, each text item didn't have the
box around it, but when I looked at it with ResEdit, I couldn't see
the difference between the Rmaker dialog and from-scratch-ResEdit
dialog.  There must be some difference, can anyone tell me what it is
so I can use the RMaker script?

And while I'm on the subject of RMaker, ResEdit makes it reletively
easy to position the text in a dialog item box, but I don't seem to
have such good luck with RMaker - is there some trick to positionining
the text to exactly where I want it, as in:

					 +---------------+
					 | line one      |
					 |               |  <- note the empty line.
					 |more text,     |
					 +---------------+

Thanks for any and all help.
