Why would you add a NUL byte to the end of a text file on disc?
This is very easy to solve -- change your definition to explicitly
include the trailing NUL character.
#define stringRsrc 'tSTR'
type stringRsrc {align word; cstring; byte = 0;};
resource stringRsrc (2000) { $$read("Help_x") }
using the "read" keyword ignores an established resource type, whereas
$$read inserts a file into the resource you're currently defining.
See Apple's Rez documentation at

It extracts to a PDF file (though Windows users will need to use Aladdin
Extractor and rename the final file to have a .pdf extension).
