After re-reading the previous help message concerning the use of STRING
resources, I found that it wasn't very specific... So lets try again!

I want to be able to create a string table and use the entries as replacements
for the usual "static text" used in a dialog box for controls.  For example,
in my About... dialog box, I would like to have a STRING resource be used for
all the information that is displayed.

                |                +----------+              |

(in resource file...)

	STRINGTABLE
	BEGIN
		IDS_ABOUT_CAPTION,	"About"
		IDS_COPYRIGHT,		"Copyright (c) 1990"
		IDS_OK,			"Ok"
	END



Does anyone know if it is possible (...and if so, how...) to write these
string resources to a dialog box?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
