You put resources in the .RC file and put the .RC file in your project.

Resources are things like:

  ACCELTABLE - is the list of keys that your program uses.  For example,
    Ctrl-O to open a file, F3 to exit the program, etc...).

  MENU - is part of the frame window, below the title bar.

  ICON, BITMAPS and POINTERs - any icons, etc... your program uses.

There are other things that can go in the .RC file, but I haven't used
all of them.

EDM/2 probably has examples with .RC files.

You may also want to get a good book, I recommend "OS/2 Presentation
Manager Programming" by Petzold.  This is a good book for beginners.

Real World Programming is also another good book, but can be a bit heavy
for the beginner.
