Doesn't sound like you are using owned resources.  Your resources should be
numbered starting at -16000 (and then increment each after).  Which is a
DRVR owner of ID 12.  Increment the SubID for each DLOG/DITL.  When loading
the DLOG, load the ID based on the resource base passed in from the device
control entry and add the SubID of the DLOG you want.

TheDialog := GetNewDialog(rsrcBase + 1, nil, Pointer(-1));

where:
    rsrcBase := BOr($C000, BSL(Abs(theDevCtlEnt^.dCtlRefNum) - 1, 5));

See Mac Revealed Volume 3


When you use owned resourced owned by DRVR, the F/DA mover will properly move
all resources.
