I have a DA which adds a menu item to the current menu bar.  I'd like
the new menu item to be a different color than the rest of the bar, so
I added a 'mctb' resource to it.  The problem I have is that the Font/DA
mover resequences the resource numbers of the mctb resource but its internal
data.  In other words, once I've added my DA to the system the mctb menu
item no longer points to my menu bar.  Does anyone have a solution to this
other than using ResEdit to correct the problem after installing the DA?

Can the DA itself modify/correct this resource when it's first invoked?  How?
