Bob, 
Instead of Using ResEdit (which will work, but is kinda overkill)
Just make sure that your preferances for DiskTop are set to "Technical"
then, select the FOLDER or FILE you want to change/view the status of
and select "Get Info" (cmd-I). The attributions of the selected item
including Invisible status will be there and can be changed there.

another interesting use of this is making folders invisible on
AppleShare servers!    I maintain several and it's a good way
to control access. Have fun, but BE POLITE with your new power!

later..............:-))
