It is very easy to create the HELP resources using the new ResEdit from Apple Computer. The version I used is “1.1 minus D”. The biggest improvement I’ve noticed is that now you can edit unknown resources as hex or ASCII. To create this resource, I just typed into the ASCII portion of the window.
I’ve also used an editor and ResEdit together in Switcher and that works OK too. Set the editor to autowrap though, because you don’t want extraneous carriage returns in your HELP resource. Desk Accessory editors work well also.
