The resources in HyperCard 2.0 were all renumbered (except for the ICONs) 
to be sequential and within the range assigned to applications. 
Unfortunately the resource numbers for strings (STR#) sometimes conflict 
with STR# resources in stacks (used by XCMDs). Since we use strings from 
the STR# resources to "fill in blanks" in the dialogs, you can get some 
pretty strange results if we're using someone else's STR# resource.

The problem with STR# resources will be fixed in the next version by 
making sure that we get the resources from HyperCard's resource file.
