            BEGIN
               VALUE "CompanyName", "Some Company\000"
               VALUE "FileDescription", "What it is\000"
               VALUE "FileVersion", "03.00.0005\000"

               VALUE "Comments", "Some comments"
            END
         END
      END
   						

5. Double-click the control box to close the current window. Click Yes when Resource Workshop asks you if you wish to save changes.
