Can anyone help me with a code snippet to set the icon (128x128 ideally) of a file (application actually) to the contents of a graphical file (can be gif, jpg, tiff, whatever, heck - it can even be a .icns file).

So far as I remember you just say

tell app "Finder" to set icon of item "<pathname>" to <icon family>

where <iconfamily> is the data from an 'icns' resource. I've never done it in OS 10 but in OS 7.6+ you could set the icon of item x to (get the icon of item y)
