To answer your first question: The best resource editor for the GS is GENESYS.
The new version 1.2.1 has many new features and will even generate the basic
code for your desktop program (IE. the TaskMaster loop etc.)

Now the bad news - it is not freeware or shareware. Its commercial and can be
obtained from APDA for $150 (US) or from Roger Coats mail-order for less than
$100 (US). But the good news is that its worth every penny, if you intend to
do any resource programming on the GS. I'd say its just about as useful as 
the 3 toolbox references and a lot more educational (not to mention fun).

A must-have for any GS programmer. (or wanna-be)

P.S. Hey Brian check out your mail on Apple Core - I had trouble responding 
to you over the Net.
