what you do with resources once you have loaded them
into memory is your affair however you shouldn't expect
to save this changed resource back to the application.

so:
- building a menu on the fly, no problems
- loading a reource, changing the info, using the chnaged resource,
   no problems

if you need to save any of this then either you need to do
it in the prefs or in a separate file somewhere. and, for similar
reasons, don't expect to be able to do this in the same folder
as the app... it may be locked.

in the prefs folder is the safest solution, else you must ask
your user where she wants to save this.
