Yes. >Or does the code need to be recompiled? No. >Any help would greatly be appreciated. Here it is: To rename a resource, renumber a resource, or change any of its attributes, use the Get Info feature. *Select* the resource in question by clicking on it *once* (don't open it by clicking on it twice), and choose Get Info (command-I) to open a dialog which lets you edit all of these things. It even has special features to help you set resource numbers for owned resources. (Not applicable here, but a big help for people who write DA's.) Get Info can also be used to view and edit the attributes of folders and files. >tektronix!reed!omen!bucket!martyl (Marty Lee) Ephraim Vishniac ephraim@think.com Thinking Machines Corporation / 245 First Street / Cambridge, MA 02142-1214
