Anybody have a guess? The finder uses a long word in this resource to store the directory id of the application. I don't know what the other two bytes are used for, though. > Ephraim Vishniac ephraim@think.com ThinkingCorp@applelink.apple.com > Thinking Machines Corporation / 245 First Street / Cambridge, MA 02142 -Justin vallon@sbcs.sunysb.edu

Anybody have a guess? My guess is that it is the resource ID of the BNDL resource that corresponds to the applications (as stored in the Desktop file). The Finder copies these resources from the application and has to renumber them. Remember, this is only a guess. :-) Larry Rosenstein, Apple Computer, Inc.
