I recently posted a question about highlighting default buttons in
ALRT's.  The  responses all talked about drawing roundRects over the
button.  I've also figured out how to do it with ResEdit(v1.0d7) if
anyone is intersested.

What needs to be done is set the id number of the button to 1 (or 2) and turn
on the default selection to highlight it.

1. Open the ALRT.
2. Double click the alert itself and select the desired button.
3. Choose "Send to back" from the "DITL" menu, this sets the button's
id number to 1.
4. Go back to the alert window itself.
5. Choose "Display Graphically" from the "ALRT" menu and check the
"drawn" box for each stage needed.  This says, draw the default box highlight.
6. If you want the button with id# = 2 to be the default (say in
another stage) then also check the "2 bold" box.


I still haven't seen any mention of LightspeedC v3.0 recently, is it
really coming out?
