objc_edit() is okay.

You have to find the tedinfo structure address for your editable object and
(assuming `ted' is the TEDINFO pointer) do the following:

ted->te_txtlen = ted->te_tmplen;

In other words, you have to copy the template length into the text length.

You do this once, directly after rsrc_load().

This should fix the problem.
