	Thinking I knew all about those resources, and boasting to
some friends how easy it is to customize Macintosh applications, I was
convinced by a left handed friend that changing the pencil tool in
MacPaint to one that points to the left would be a good idea.
	So I open up MacPaint with ResEdit, and, what do you know but
the pencil doesn't seem to be anywhere! I thought it would be a cursor,
but no.... 
	Now there is this font called ".12" or something (this is MacPaint 1.5),
however, whenever I try to open this with ResEdit 1.0d12 (I think), ResEdit
crashes.  Furthermore this font can't be copied with the Font/DA Mover (3.2 I
think). 
	So what gives?  Does the pencil tool live in this font? How can I
edit it??

	Another question: is the Arrow cursor built into the ROM? How would
one go about customizing it? Are there any other frustrated lefty's out 
there?
