Don't change the icons in an AppleScript applet unless you also know how to
change the other resources that tie the icons and the application together
-- at least under Mac OS 9 and earlier. Failing to do this the right way
will very likely cause your new icon to appear as the standard icon for ALL
of your AppleScript applets, and also for every applet on every machine
where your applet gets installed.

Way back in 1993 or 1994, a well-known set of applets and scripts was
distributed widely, and it caused exactly this problem.

It still happens - even in OS X. Every once in a while, as I perform my ScriptBuilders duties, I run into a script whose icon takes over as the default icon for AppleScript applets. It doesn't appear to cause any harm but it's very annoying (and alarming until I figure out what has happened). :-)
