Yes, they can.  They just can't have anything in them except
#define's.  No problem.  I just have two files called "resource.rec"
and "resource.h" that contain all of the necessary resources for
my program (no use in splitting them up since WRT can deal with
all sorts of different resources being in one file).

I think it's cleaner to keep all of the #define's for the resources
in one file, anyway.  However, I dont' write apps with huge amount
of resources...

WRT is certainly a lot cleaner than all of the bitmap editors and
dialog editors in the SDK.  The dialog editor tends to crash on
my machine (the only app I know of to do this on my machine) and
is a bit kludgy.  WRT is a tiny bit slow, but I can cope with it.
I just need to get a faster machine with more RAM (but don't we
all :-).
