I just committed a change that fixes Exercise04a. Do a svn update to pull
in that change.

No, I said *if you want to use numeric IDs *in the Rexx code, you have to
use numeric IDs in the resource script file.
Personally, I wouldn't use numeric IDs, it is too hard in your program code
to remember exactly what 4014 is. It is too hard for some one else to read
the code and understand what it is doing.
The changes I made to ooDialog require only a very minimal change to any
existing 4.2.0 programs that use menus. There are only about 2 programs
that fit that category in the entire world. You are simply misunderstanding
something basic here. Once the light bulb goes on you will realize that.

Yes, you should stick with symbolic IDs. I'm not sure about resEdit, there
should be a way, but maybe not. It is not a normal thing to do.
PS: Is there a way for me to find out what the build number of my installed
ooDialog 4.2 is?
Use .DlgUtil~version('S') as in:
say 'Version:' .DlgUtil~version('s')
::requires 'ooDialog.cls'
and you will see something like:
Version: 4.2.0.7017
That is the build number.
