[X4U] Input Menu Flags

[Said Nuseibeh]

Thank you John,

This looks like a fruitful approach. Alas, my Classic machine and
ResEdit are thousands of miles away at the moment. I was hoping for
something simple: like find the image icon for the English language
flag, identify its properties in Photoshop, create a peace sign of
equivalent parameters, and switch them. Then I could proudly join the
teams of flag-wavers without advertising a nationalist tilt in full
color at the top of my Menu Bar. 

It looks like this may be harder than it was in pre-OSX days.

Thank for all the ideas.
