There is a resource numbering convention for things like PICT's that are
owned by other resources, in this case a DITL (which in turn is owned by
a DLOG...).  I forget the exact details but I do remember using it within
the last year for exactly this purpose with no problems whatsoever.  

You must know about this already since you were able to get Font/DA-Mover
to move the PICT into your system file - it is just a question of playing
around a little bit until you find the magic formula.
