No, I don't know what it *is*, but I know what it *isn't*... Apologies, Chris: Gatekeeper wasn't to blaim. At the time, altering Gatekeeper's settings was allowing ResEdit 2.0 to run - sometimes. The problem (you'll recall) is that ResEdit 2.0b2 was bombing when I tried to use the MENU editor. Eventually, I tracked it down to my System Folder. *Not* the System files - the folder. In the end, I created a new folder, copied all the system files into it, blessed the new folder, and deleted the old one. End of problem. I don't know what was causing this - possibly some strange permissions on the folder or something - but it seems fine now. Weird...
