Yes they can. The Resource type is MBTI. If you create a TMPL resource
with the name of "MBTI" and add these fields "String","PSTR" in the fields,
it will help you edit those resources. If you want I can mail you the
template.

I believe that you pas an integer indicating the color. I don't
know if that works but I know that Forecolor and BackColor work.

This was covered in a Mactutor article. I sorry but I can rember the issue.
The anwser to the question is yes it can be done.
