Importing .dlg file into dialog editor

I have a .dlg file that was created with a text editor. Is there any way
to load it into the dialog editor for further tweaking? Or am I doomed
to using a text editor for all further changes? When I try to open the
text-editor-created dialog script in the dialog editor, the message
"Resources not loaded." appears together with a blank dialog.

The problem seems to be that the dialog editor searches for a .res file
of the same name as the .dlg file and actually tries to load that.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

You'll need to successfully compile your .dlg file once using the command
line resource compiler. Then you should be able to complete the edits using
the dialog editor. Go to a DOS command prompt and enter "wrc -?" to see the
command line options.
