Another work-around for the bug in SETFILE is to make liberal use of
backspaces (before) and spaces (after) entering file type and creator in
their textfields. This seems to work if the fields are initially empty.
If not, then spacing existing text off the right end first, seems to work.
Use of the tab key as you suggest is a cleaner work-around.
For those who haven't got the docs for Resource Mover, the program's
primary capabilities seem to be: editing resource IDs and names, and moving
resources around (via the familiar select, cut, copy, and paste route).
It's handy for installing fonts, renaming menus, and such. If it does
other things, I haven't discovered them yet. Whatever's left on The Scrap
when the program is exited seems to be saved in a document called ResScrap;
however, this gets zeroed the next time Resource Mover is started.
