If you poke around inside any of the Apple installers that install icons in the Dock (e.g. iLife) you'll find scripts for adding and removing things from the Dock. However, they're not pretty....

Cheers,

I forgot to mention that you'll have to force the Dock to re-load its preferences after fooling around like this.

I really only know how to do this through the terminal or through AppleScript, although I'm sure there are other ways to do it

Here's an example of an AppleScript:

NSString *quitSource = @"tell application \"/System/Library/ CoreServices/Dock.app\" to quit";
NSAppleScript *quitScript = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:quitSource];
NSDictionary *theError = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];


	[quitScript executeAndReturnError:&theError];
