I am writing a WDEF which needs to do some GetResource calles.  It seems
that these are all returning NIL but not setting ResError to anything
usefull.  I was doing a GetMenu in the WDEF and it wouldn't, so I moved	
it out and did a GetMHandle instead.  This worked fine, but not the MDEF,
it is trying to do a GetResource and failing!  I would rather do the GetMenu
in the WDEF as well!  Is there something about the Window Manager that
I am not taking notice of?  I stopped in the WDEF with TMON and looked at
ResLoad.  It was set to TRUE (normal).  I tried getting TMON to do the
load and it worked.  Even with the resource loaded, GetResource was still
returning NIL!  What am I doing wrong?   Thanks in advance - Yossie
P.s. does someone have a concise list of what and what can't be done in
a WDEF, in a MDEF (how about a CDEF? :-)
