I had a minor problem with ResEdit 2.0d3 recently where I defined my menus the
normal way, with IDs 400-403.. but my program was refusing to call them,
and after a few debugging statements, I figured out that the menu IDs
for 401-403 weren't 401-403, but default 128, 156, 157... couldn't
figure it out.. I checked under the MENU pulldown, and sure enough, the
ID there hadn't defaulted to the resource ID.  So I changed it, saved
the rsrc, and tried again.. no go, same problem.. and then I found out
that the menuID had switched back.. and no matter what I did, it refused
to accept the new ID number.  I eventually resorted to using an older
version of ResEdit, and that finally worked, but why would the new
version _not_ work??
