[net.micro.mac] HELP!, on creating a desktop icon...

Hi,

I'm attempting to associate a home-grown icon with an application that I 
produced with MegaMax C.

I started with the vanilla double-clickable application which had the 
default application icon.

Using ResEdit, I created several new resources in the application file 
called "arrow":

o	An ICN# resource, containing my personal icon.  In the GetInfo 
window, I gave this icon a resource number of 128.

o	A FREF resource containing 1 entry showing  APPL and a 
ResourceID of 128.

o	A BNDL resource containing 2 entries, one pointing to the ICN# 
resource with ResourceID = 128 and LocalID = 0, and another pointing to 
FREF with ResourceID = 128 and LocalID = 0.


I then set the BUNDLE BIT using FEDIT and expected (sigh) to see my 
nifty new icon on the desktop.  But, alas, something seems to have other 
ideas.

I compared several other applications which already have icons 
established with what I had done, and they seem similar or, in some 
cases, identical.

What have I missed?

Thanks,


Jeff Harrow
