I'm going to have to pass on this one...:-)

The original 'Palm Programming' book was written before Palm OS 3.5 was 
publicly announced.

A .r file is a Rez file which is a Mac OS text-based resource descriptor 
file. Check out <UIResDefs.r> inside the Palm OS 3.5 SDK for how resources 
how defined in Rez.

There is a Rez reference on Apple's Devworld:

Building_Progs_In_MPW.sit.hqx

Hope this helps :-)
