Walter C3arlip suggested that I use the cdev "Simon".
 
Actually, I had tried Simon before, and found that it did indeed
"take", unlike the changes made with ResEdit.  However, Simon only
allows changes to portions of the International Resources, not all of
them as ResEdit theoretically can.  (As an example, I want to have the
delimiter within the date be the SI standard "-" instead of "/" -
Simon does not let you change this.) So for now, I'll have to wait
until a better solution comes along.  Any other ideas?  -Goz
