resource question

Hello,
I am trying to retrieve a resource from a preferences file, after setting UseResFile(). UseResFile returns with no error, and my resource is retrieved just fine. The problem is, that resource isn't *actually in* the preferences file. It must be getting it from somewhere else, right? The default resource file is that of the application itself, isn't it? Or does it look at the resource file in the resources folder of my freaky new bundled app which is really a folder? Or does system 9 check the preference file in the system folder? I have my Mac set to a single user, this is in OS9. I have looked at all of these resource files with ResEdit, and the resource is not actually in any of them.
So where else could the resource manager be finding this resource?

The only thing I am not sure about is that in my freaky new bundle app folder, there is the Resources folder I mentioned, and a resource file in there. I didn't put it there, but maybe CodeWarrior did when I wasn't looking. I can't open the file with ResEdit, it says there's no resource fork to it. Could there be resource information in the DATA fork, that resedit can't find, that was put there during some old compile?

I have checked as many places as I know, and can't find it any files! Yet it is getting it, correct from somewhere. I need to know because I don't really want it there anymore.

Anybody know what could be the trouble?
Thanks!
Bob
