I tried to create an autograph resource for a custom application icon via the New item in RE 1.2b3. A window pops up with but I can't type into it or paste to it. When I close it, the new resource does not appear in the resource list. This can't be hard. Is there some reasonable RE documentation around so I don't have to ask inane questions like this?

Presumably, you mean a "version" resource with resource type the same as the application creator type, yes? Do a "NEW" with the resource type; this will give you a window with a title like "FOOs from xxx", for resource type FOO. Then do a NEW again to create the first actual resource. I suspect you were just doing the first step. >Dan Lulue >lulue@nosc.mil Nick. -- Nick Rothwell, Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science, Edinburgh. nick@lfcs.ed.ac.uk <Atlantic Ocean>!mcvax!ukc!lfcs!nick ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Fais que ton reve soit plus long que la nuit.

Suppose you want to create a MOOF resource in a file that doesn't have any MOOF resources. Open the file. Choose New. ResEdit asks for a type; tell it MOOF. Now you have a window of MOOF resources, which is empty. Choose New (again). Now you have an edit window for a new MOOF resource, which will be the standard hex editor if there is no TMPL (template) for the MOOF type. When you close the edit window, the resource will show in the list of MOOFs with the random ID that ResEdit assigned to it; use Get Info to change the ID. You can paste into the window of MOOF resources (whether empty or not) if and only if there is a MOOF resource on the clipboard. > This can't be hard.

There was some ResEdit documentation a while ago; I think it may be on CompuServe (AppDev forum) among other places. I don't know if there is any recent documentation. -- brecher@well.UUCP (Steve Brecher)
