The WDEF 0 resource is actually in ROM (on all machines with 128K or 256K
ROMs), so you must tell the system to use the new resource in the system file
instead of the one in ROM. Do this by editing the ROv# resource corresponding
to your Rom-version (or change it in all of them if you don't know the
version). You should insert a new entry here with type=WDEF and id=0. This will
make the system work the way you want.
