I have a "Dummy" rsrc file .. That I use to start a Program .. with all
the basic resources that I use, Preinstalled .. One is a SIZE Resource ..
Every time I open a ResEdit rsrc file .. I've developed the habit of
automatically Click & and Copy the SIZE .. The Size is small and Copies
fast .. AND .. sets a "Standard Routine" that prevents forgetting the
safe guard ..
ALSO .. IF you have more than one ResEdit rsrc file open at one time ..
You have to do the Click & Copy routine ON ALL of them ..
Another "Bug" you may encounter .. IF .. IF you have FB & and a ResEdit
rsrc File open at the same time .. Where the two overlap .. You may loose
the cursor in that region of your Screen .. The cursor is there and
Functional .. BUT it is invisible
