I had a minor problem with ResEdit 2.0d3 recently where I defined my menus the
normal way, with IDs 400-403.. but my program was refusing to call them,
and after a few debugging statements, I figured out that the menu IDs
for 401-403 weren't 401-403, but default 128, 156, 157... couldn't
figure it out.. I checked under the MENU pulldown, and sure enough, the
ID there hadn't defaulted to the resource ID. So I changed it, saved
the rsrc, and tried again.. no go, same problem.. and then I found out
that the menuID had switched back.. and no matter what I did, it refused
to accept the new ID number. I eventually resorted to using an older
version of ResEdit, and that finally worked, but why would the new
version _not_ work??

You are using ResEdit 2.0d3. (Which I don't think was ever supposed
to get out.) The current version is 2.0b2, it is supposed to be much
better. Try it.
The "d" is for development, "a" is for alpha, "b" is for beta. For a
given number to the left of the letter, beta's are always newer than
alpha's, which are always newer than development's. Get the "b".
