You're right - with version 1.5 of Emacs.r, Emacs does load and run 
successfully on Panther.   Apparently not only the balloon help 
resource, but the other two resources preceding it, were causing a 
problem.

I am still curious, though, why we need the resource at all, given that 
there are functions for creating windows in Carbon that don't require 
resources, and that work correctly.   It seems like it would be easier 
to maintain the code if these functions were used instead of 
GetNewCWindow, which is deprecated in the Carbon API (at least 
according to the Panther docs).
