How do you open an Alias file in ResEdit?  Here's an example of what I'm
trying to do.  I had an alias for HyperCard, and decided to make an alias
for the home stack instead so I could put it in a seperate folder than 
HyperCard.  I have the home stack alias in my Apple menu, and it runs
HyperCard fine.  Now I would like to conver the icon from a stack icon 
to the Hypercard icon. (the stack with the hand)  When I tried to open
the alias file in ResEdit, it would open the home stack.  Is there any
way to open an alias that I'm not seeing?
