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


See TN 23 for an explanation of what's going on and how to correct it.
