but WHOOPS! I forgot a step in the description below.  One very important
thing (otherwise nothing changes) is to change the number you'll find in
the very start of the resource.  It currently reads 0001 0011, and you
need to bump that up when you add entries to the bottom.  If you're
putting both the dotted line and quit, change it to be 0001 0013.  If
not, change it to 12.  Otherwise, nothing happens.

Here's the instructions, quoted again for your reading pleasure...

Change the second word in the resource to be either 0012 or 0013, depending
on whether you put the grey line above or not (from 0011).
