Greetings.

I have an app that is under development. It has about a dozen  
resources, and I need to rename one of them. This turns out to be more  
complicated than I initially thought. Anyone have any tips for easing  
this process other than a global search and replace (which of course  
does not consider AR associations, etc).

Thanks.
