- Well, yesterday I did close the window and look again several times, but still
- no satisfactory results. Today, however, I got it to work. Here's what I
- *think* happened: yesterday I wrote in the comments field before creating
- the vers resource. Today I did the opposite. My guess is that as soon as
- I modified something in the Get Info box, it prevents the resource from doing
- its job. After I got it to work, I tried to modify the resource and sure
- enough, the revisions did not display. I had to start over with a fresh copy.
- I received a personal note from one of you today telling me to rebuild the
- desktop in order to see the changes. I didn't try that one.
