    Actually, that's not the best example, Frank.  ;-)  I think it would
be easier just to type in the coordinates in your source code than
trying to align it using a mouse and making all the buttons the same
size and equally spaced, etc.  However, resources really come in handy
when you want to *change* your layout.  Why the hell should have to
recompile just to move a few controls around?
