ResEdit BNDL vs RR2.0/OS 10.2.3

[Robert Presender]

Hi Dar,

Thanks for your help.  Did the Show package contents bit.  Very 
helpful.  I think that I have enough info now to start putting this 
together. Have also been reading Apple Tech Notes for plst and using 
Google.

It would be nice if Rev put together a tutorial on this subject also on 
standalone.

Looking forward to 2.0.

Regards ... Bob
