This may help:
In ResEdit there is a way to open resource files without using the fancy 
interfacing.  I believe in this mode, if you are looking at a DITL, you
should be able to select an item, and use the Get Info (clover-I) feature to
edit its resource ID number.  I think holding the option key down when
opening a resource uses a general editor.
