Since everyone seems to saying what they want to see in LSC, I
thought I'd add my little request.  On machines with the 128K
ROM and up it is desirable to have all CODE resources, except
the main segment, marked as unlocked and unprotected.  The 128K
ROM will then load them, put them at the top of the heap and
lock them.  This goes a long way to preventing heap
fragmentation.

But LSC locks and protects all CODE resources so I have to go
in with ResEdit and undo that for about 15 resources.  Perhaps
THINK could include in the GetInfo box a place to mark what
resource attributes the segment should have?  I expect this
would also be useful for writers of INITs, DAs, FKEYs, etc.
