You've got an old version.  This problem was fixed with verison 1.2.  There
is a box when you select the menu title that has space for the id.  You still
have to open the hex version to change the defproc number, but most people
use standard menus 99% of the time anyway.  When ResEdit when to version
1.2b2 there was a change in the interface for editors so there was another
version, 1.2b1 that fixed that problem and let you see the h-menus when you
tried out the menu.  So, if you've got ResEdit older than 1.2b2 (or maybe
1.2b1), get MenuEdit 1.2, otherwise use 1.2b1.  Both have been posted to
comp.binaries.mac, with 1.2b1 being posted around last august or so.  All in
all, it is an excelent piece of work that has made my life a bit easier.
(Now if there were only a color icon editor....)
