It seems that everyone else is making comments about the things they would
like to see in ResEdit so I thought I would add my tuppence worth (if it
hasn't been done already...)

It would be nice if ResEdit would look in the System folder for a customisation
file full of TMPLs etc that are specific to each user.  I use ResEdit to
edit some custom resource types, and every time I make a change to the type,
or get a newer version of ResEdit I have to make a copy of ResEdit, and
use that one to modify the resources in ResEdit (not the copy) and then
throw the copy away.  If I then intend to edit my modified resources I have
to re-launch the newly modified ResEdit.  Couldn't it just read a file (so
I didn't have to use it to hack itself) and then I could mess about with
the file and not ResEdit !!??  The coding to do just that can't be THAT
hard (can it??)
