Thanks for your suggestions, I think updating the application resources from 
data in an external data file is probably more to my liking. But why can't 
the application find the pop-up menu resources in the external file or in 
memory? 
There has been some discussion about the resource stack and resources coming 
from various external files on accident... I can't even do it on purpose! 
What gives?

Does pG have the capability to force itself to look only in the application 
file and no where else for pop-up menus and STR#? If so, maybe I could 
overide those 2 specific functions?
