Yes, each time I tried deleting and re-adding all my src files (to try to
get them show up without n/a for the new target) I'd selected all targets.
They would always get added to all targets, but for some of them, the
code/data would have "n/a"

I still don't understand why there needs to be a file with 0 bytes. Do you
mean that I should create a new directory for my new rsrc file (like
Project/RESOURCE_NEWTARGET.FRK/myrsrc_newtarget.rsrc) or just create a copy
in the same directory (like Project/RESOURCE.FRK/myrsrc_newtarget.rsrc)
Also, which of the two rsrc files does CW expect me to add to the project--
the 0 byte or non-zero byte version? BTW, What does fork mean in this
context? :)

I had not messed with the file mappings afaik, but reset them to factory
anyway, for each of my targets. I'm still having trouble adding files to
the project. I tried deleting all src files and adding them back again to
all targets, and one target compiles fine, one gives a few strange
compilation errors and warnings of the form "Can't find function prototype"
for a small number of seemingly random functions, and one target can't even
compile because all the Code/Data is still listed as n/a.
BTW, is there a way to remove a file from one target without deleting it
from the entire project? I know that when you add a file to a project, you
can select the targets to associate it with, but I didn't see a way to
change the associations without deleting the file and re-adding it with
different associations.
I think that last time I ran into this kind of problem, I was using CW6,
trying to clone a target, and the way I worked around the n/a problem was to
revert to the backup I made of my project before I attempted to clone, and
then try to clone again using a slightly different recipe.
