A few weeks ago, I posted a question about whether THINK C would
be a good platform for an application I was writing.  Thanks
to all those who responded, and I have decided to go ahead
with it.

I have programmed in C and I am familiar with object-oriented 
programming, but I'm having some trouble working with the class
library in THINK C.  Here is my question:  Suppose I wanted to 
add a dialogue box to the TinyEdit application that comes with 
the package.  Suppose I want this box to come up when the user
clicks the "About..." selection of the Apple Menu of TinyEdit.
Unless I am mistaken, I create a subclass of the dialog box 
object and write a method that says that when it is drawn,
to write up whatever information I want displayed.  What I 
don't understand is, what part of the existing application do
I have to modify to get it to draw my box when the user 
clicks "About..."?

Also, I think the answer to this question is yes, but do I need
to use ResEdit to make the dialogue box a resource?

Sorry for the neophyte questions, but I really am confused.

Thanks in advance,

David
