Exactly.  It doesn't work when the App is a PG project, and I continued along
the line of thinking arriving at...I have to get the resource fork of the app.
closed and inactive.

I have the theory working as in this thread.  My app is using the Help file
(copied resources there) and all is well, except, the time stamp of the App is
identical to the stamp on the help file.  I am looking at the PG init routines
trying to figure out what is happening.  Clearly it is counting menus and
window and it is using the app resource to do this.  It is going to take some
tricky stuff to get it to start at the help file resource.  Help won't be open
yet as the routine does not know the name of the help file because that info
is in reources.  The old card-horse thing and will have to be hard coded.  I
will keep at this...
