String
Resources
STR&emdash;A
single string that creates a word or
sentence used somewhere within a
program.
STR#&emdash;An
array of strings that is usually grouped
around one topic; for instance, the Trash,
which is determined by the whim of the
programmer.

Almost
all text that Mac programs use comes in a string.
Strings are used in dialog boxes
(including alerts and warnings), balloons, messages, and in
the case of the Finder, menus. (The Finder is a little
weird, and it does this -- it seems to me like it would be
smarter to use menus for menus).
Be careful hacking strings because some
define file names, and when you change those, the
applications can't find the files. Don't panic&emdash;as
long as you're working on copies of the files, you should be
fine.
Let's get on with strings:

- hacking your trash
These links should give you a pretty good
understanding of how to work with strings -- and an idea of
some of the fun you can have.
