  I made some progress with my problem over the weekend.  Turns out that
the '.C' output of the RCS does not do a complete  job at filling in the
structures.  When it wants to install a pointer to *rs_strings[5] in the
rs_object[]  array, it puts a '5L' as a place  marker - period.  This is
just a reminder to the user to fix things up properly,  and if you don't
go and do it, you're  screwed.  All those funny  pointers  cause lots of
problems for the OBJC_*  routines!  Also, I lied :  the RSRC_OBFIX  does
not fix the rs_object[]  entries to PIXEL coordinates, it just screws up
the program.

  So now I am  disappointed  in the RCS.  If it will produce a '.C' file
at all, it should do it right.  It would be  simple to write a filter to
fix the output,  since the rules are quite  simple, so it should also be
simple to do it right.  It should also put out PIXEL  coordinates.  With
the  limitations  in the linker and  compiler,  I suppose  this isn't so
awful, but it is so GREAT in other ways that this fix would be nice.

  I'm still having trouble with radio buttons and default/exit, though.
