Does this string resource of yours have id 10004?

Is it not quite the same blah, but rather a similar blah with id 10005?

If you look in UICommon.h/UIResources.h, you'll see that the system
uses string resources with these ids for these items in the category
menu.  As you've found out, this allows you to use your own wording
for them if you know what you're doing.

But in general, so that you don't have to worry about things like this
happening, resource ids >= 10000 are reserved for system use in Palm OS.
Apparently this is documented somewhere, but apart from in "general
Macintosh folklore" I don't know where.
