I wish Apple would upload the entire ResEdit docs to apple.com but
since they haven't, here's what I could figure out--

DBYT, DWRD, DLNG - decimal byte, word, long
HBYT, HWRD, HLNG - hex b, w, l
HEXD - hex dump of remaining bytes
PSTR - Pascal string (normal 8-bits)
LSTR - long Pascal string (32-bits)
WSTR - 16-bit length Pascal string
ESTR, OSTR - Pascal string padded to even or odd length
CSTR - C string
ECST, OCST - even or odd padded C string
BOOL - boolean (not 1 bit)
BBIT - boolean bit
TNAM - type name (4 char)
CHAR - a single char
RECT - guess
Hnnn - nnn is a hex number < $900; displays nnn bytes in hex

LSTZ
...
LSTE - List Zero - List End. (like MENU's)

ZCNT
LSTC
...
LSTE - Zero Count/List Count - List End (like DITL's)

OCNT
LSTC
...
LSTE - One Count/List Count - List End (like STR#'s)

LSTB
...
LSTE - no examples exist
