That was a great help.
do you have a favorite application for making these changes?
Hi David,
That's hard to say because I usually work with ".r" files in either
CodeWarrior or Project Builder. For the purpose at hand I suggest to
use Apple's ResEdit 2.1.3 For working with ResEdit you'll probably want
to drop down to OS 9 because it's now a legacy product and sometimes
acts a little kinky in Classic.
If you don't actually need to edit the icons, you can use the Rez and
DeRez located in /Developer/Tools/ to inject the new icons into the app
(man Rez and man DeRez).
Cheers,
Philip

What is the right way to add a custom icon to an applescript
application so that I can hand it off to others (probably stashed
away in a disk image).
Just pasting a custome icon in the normal user way works fine on the
originating machine, but they do not show up on the next machine.
The icons are located in the application's resource file. ID 150.
There are two types: icon family (which has several member types) and
icns. Replace them all with your custom icons of the same type.
