[comp.sys.apple] Problem creating keystroke equivalents

JDA@CU.NIH.GOV ("Doug Ashbrook") (12/14/89)

I have encountered a problem in using the resource editor in TML
Pascal II.  It looks to me like they are not correctly creating the
keystroke equivalent record.  In my tests, they always set the
keyModifiers word and the keyCareBits word to $0001.  The result is
that the keystroke equivalent is always Open-Apple x, where "x" is
the keystroke you provide in the resource editor.

I have been able to circumvent this problem by zapping (using
ProSel-16) the file so that both words are $0000.  To find the
location to be zapped, "follow" the file, then use the "search"
command under "edit" to search for two consecutive occurrences of the
keystroke that you specified.  For example, if you specified a
keystroke equivalent of "A", then search for "AA" (the actual string
is "Aa", but ProSel-16 will find it in either case--pun intended).
This sure isn't a very handy way to create resources, but I have
gotten it to work so far.
