This bit of TFM could really do with some improvements. By far the best
way to find out resource names is with editres, except it's kind of
confusing to use the first time. Would anyone be intersted in writing
a quick tutorial on using editres? (the manual page would provide a lot
of the actual text) Or better still, does anyone know of a more
intuitive tool?

Cheers,
