If you are going to make a standalone, you will need to at least move 
over the answer and ask dialogs if you use them.  I also use the cursors 
and icons.  These are just stacks that will be added to your program.

Only the Mac version will have the resource fork.  That is created when 
the stack is turned into a standalone.  The resource mover just brings 
in important stacks you code may call upon like the answer dialog.  You 
win version will work as expected even if you create it on the Mac.

Make sure that you have the correct stack labeled in the button at the 
top of the resource mover.  You should have your stack listed there.  
After you move the resources, if all when well, you will get a message 
stating so.
