Hello

I want to use the same "*.r* file defining 'MENU' resources in a Carbon
and in a Classic part of a project.

Only in the classic part the extended-bits are used for modifier-keys.
(Mercutio)

one example:

// this does not work, cause the prefix-file is not parsed for *.r files
#ifdef PP_Target_Carbon
#define menuShift plain
#define menuCondence plain
#else
#define menuShift extend                //64
#define menuCondence condense   //32
#endif

resource 'MENU' (129, "Ablage Menu") {
       129,
       19999,
       0x7FFFB6F7,
       enabled,
       "xxx",
       {       /* array: 16 elements */
               /* [1] */
               "Neu", noIcon, "N", noMark, plain,
               /* [2] */
               "Öffnen", noIcon, "O", noMark, plain,
               /* [3] */
               "hinzu laden...", noIcon, "O", noMark, menuShift,
// menuShift has to be 0 at carbon and 64 at classic
               /* [4] */
....

Ive tried target-dependant define files which are loaded at the start of
the *.r files, but the search-path for files is not target-dependant(?).

Anyone who can give me a hint?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings Klaus
