Is there any way to put the text block for Info into a resource? I had thought that the `vers' resource let you do this in the GetInfo field, but when I tried it, it inserted that string in the `Version' field of the Info window. Interestingly, the example (p 389) in ``Macintosh programming primer''' by Reed and Mark (offered with the TC 4.0 upgrade) claims that the text goes in the Text box of Info, but the figure shows the text in the Version field, as experience has confirmed.

Some versions of the Finder which do not have the Version field in their Get Info box look at the application's signature to bring up a default in the text box. Some may look at the version field for this instead?
