I was wondering when someone was going to ask me this. I was having
trouble with Font/DA mover renumbering the DITL resource. Consequently,
when I would call GetNewDialog(), the DITL resource number within the DLOG
template would be wrong. Is it possible to make the DITL resource owned by
the DLOG resource and have Font/DA mover put it in the system file
correctly?

Thanks,
