Every text rectangle that you see here preceded by "The string" is a message that our file (the Finder) uses in it's dialog boxes as it requires them to tell you different things that are going on, errors, what have you. Now, how the Finder actually knows what messages to use when, I dunno, but the messages themselves are easy enough to recognize. Let's go down to the bottom-most item visible here, "An application can't be found for this document.", and change it. As we did for changing the menu titles and items, select the text in the rectangle and enter in the message at the bottom of example button #17.
Done! Now quit ResEdit (saving our changes first, of course), and let's take a look at what we've done. A quick way to produce the error that will show us the message we changed is to double-click on the Finder. We do and -- voila! There's our message in button example #18.
Now we're going to show you how to use ResEdit to copy and paste sounds and icons into HyperCard or stacks from other stacks. Begin by double clicking on ResEdit and going to your HyperCard folder. As you can see by example #19, we are about to select a stack called "Idiot ProofΓäó 10/87 by double clicking on it. When you open it you get another window with all the "Resources" listed.
