Even though I have a good grasp of Applescript I don't really have a clue what I'm doing on the resource side. The tool I'm using is Resourcerer 1.2.4, which I am beginning to understand, but it has a ghastly user interface, and I've just got hold of a hypercard stack called 'Aete editor b3' which is REALLY old (1993), and makes no reference to Applescript whatsoever.

I rather like Resourcerer, but I'll admit it takes some getting used to. As Emmanuel said, DeRez and Rez are the final fallback -- they have the advantage of working on a plain text file, so it's easy to compare different revisions and use source control tools.

I'm not aware of any really good aete editors, but you might try asking on the applescript-implementors list instead -- see <http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/applescript-implementors>.

I read somewhere that aetes were obsolete 68k resources and that they have been replaced with something else. This app is PPC only and carbonized to run on OSX too which I imagine handles resources a bit differently, am I barking up the wrong tree? Can an aete be painlessly updated to whatever is more modern? How?

In fact, aete resources are still the best thing available. (Cocoa applications have their own way of describing terminology, but it has some limitations, so they'll often have an aete resource as well.) Exactly where you put the resource is a bit different in a bundled application, but it's still the same bits.
