I was under the impression that that just meant "edit manually" (as a=20
textfile),
however it's possible I've missed something.

I think Dev creates those files when you assign an icon to the project.
(You can do that from Project Options, but I guess you already figured=20
that out.)
You can also create rc files yourself, and Dev won't overwrite them.

They don't get added to the menu automatically. You can find them in=20
Dev-Cpp/bin/
The FLTK one is called Fluid.exe; I don't see one in WxWindows; maybe it
wasn't included in the DevPak version I downloaded last...
You can get a list of all files in a DevPak by using the Package Manager.=
=20
Select the
installed package you're interested in, and click the files tab. If a=20
resource editor
is included, it'll be a .exe

You can add things to the (tools) menu by going to the tools=20
menu/configure tools, then
clicking "add" and filling out the required fields.
