In IM V p.278 it says:
	"You don't have to call any new routines to create color alert or
	dialog boxes.  Additional resources of times 'actb', 'dctb', and
	'ictb' complement existing 'ALRT', 'DLOG', and 'DITL' resources,
	and provide all the information needed to color dialog windows,
	controls, and text."

I have used ResEdit 1.2 to create a dctb resource that colors the dialog
box but, as I understand it, an ictb resource is needed to color the items
within the dialog box( the buttons, the static text, and the text edit boxes, 
etc..).   ResEdit 1.2 does not have ictb built in.  Help!  How can I 
create this resource in my programs?   I'm a beginning Mac programmer, so
please don't flame me if I'm being stupid.   I really would like to be
able to use color in my dialog boxes.  I'm also quite confused as to why
IM V would mention a resource that ResEdit does not know about?

Why we're at the dumb questions game, would someone please fill me in 
wrt Rmaker?

Thanks for all the help! - matt
