I've come across the same problem, ResEdit 2.0b2 crashing on *some* MENU edits. I'm not running GateKeeper, but I've found that if you open the resource using 'Open Using Template ...', the crash doesn't happen. (I've also found this with other resources, but memory fails me.) BTW, you might consider getting rid of GateKeeper and using Disinfectant 2.1. It can install an INIT that does a *lot* better job than GateKeeper, and more important, it only notifies on *REAL* virus attacks, not on things that merely look like attacks. Also it's updated as soon as a new virus is found. -- -o (short for On-no) ()/)/)() can be r e a c h e d at B_MURPHY@VAXA.UWA.OZ.AU _____________________________________________________________________ The net never sleeps, come to think of it, do I ever? ----> Thinking is dangerous, subversive and leads you astray. <----
