IM gives the conventions for numbering resources that are owned by a desk
accessory, and warns that your desk accessory may be renumbered.  Resource 
ID's have to be recalculated from your DA's ID.  The FONT/DA Mover renumbers   
your DA's resources, but it doesn't change, for instance, the DITL ID stored in
a DLOG or ALRT resource.  Short of modifying the resources in place in the 
resource file before calling GetNewDialog() or Alert(), is there any way to 
get around this problem?

(I'm converting an application to a DA, and want to avoid, say, getting rid of
all GetNewDialog() and Alert() calls.)

Replies via mail or this group welcome.  Thanks.
