	I think you just contradicted yourself there, old man. :-) Key words:
THE PROGRAM MODIFIED ITSELF. *You* did not modify it; the change in the
program was made at the program's own request and executed by the program
itself.
	So, you still haven't violated anything.

	However, using ResEdit to change some menu command-key equivalents
*would* be a modification by you, and that's in violation of the license
agreement.

	Neat, isn't it?
