   Another option would be to replace the rAlertString rez definition:   
      
   (don't update types.rez, just put this in your rez file before using it.   
   There will be a warning about the redefinition but compile rez=(-rd) will   
   disable it).   
      
   type rAlertString {   
      
           switch {   
                   case sizeCustom:   
                           key byte = 0x30;   
                           rect;   
                   case size30: key byte = 0x31;   
                   case size60: key byte = 0x32;   
                   case size110: key byte = 0x33;   
                   case size175: key byte = 0x34;   
                   case size110: key byte = 0x35;   
                   case siz140: key byte = 0x36;   
                   case size200: key byte = 0x37;   
                   case size250: key byte = 0x38;   
                   case size300: key byte = 0x39;   
           };   
      
           switch {   
                   case iconNone: key byte = 0x30;   
                   case iconCustom:   
                           key byte = 0x31;   
                           longint;   
                           int;   
                           int;   
                   case iconStop: key byte = 0x32;   
                   case iconNote: key byte = 0x33;   
                   case iconCaution: key byte = 0x34;   
                   case iconDisk: key byte = 0x35;   
                   case iconDiskSwap: key byte = 0x36;   
           };   
      
           string;   
           string = $"00";   
   };   
      
   Example usage:   
      
   resource rAlertString (3) {   
      
           sizeCustom { { 12, 34, 56, 78 }},   
           iconNone {} ,   
           "/abc/#0"   
   };   
      
   resource rAlertString (4) {   
           size30 {},   
           iconCustom { 12, 20, 40 } ,   
           "/abc/#0"   
   };   
      
   Note the empty {} are required even if it's a standard size or icon.  The   
   trailing $00 terminator is automatically provided.
