First, I want to thank everyone for the responses they sent me.  Most
were of the type "put the resources in the Home stack," which is what
I ended up doing.  However, I plan to eventually distribute these
stacks and had wanted to avoid that.

They do use DLOGs, and they didn't show up.  Evidently, the XCMD
wasn't able to locate them.

Now that I see it, this looks like a workable (and obvious!) solution.

Thanks for your help.
