Could some kind soul point me in the direction of some documentation on how
to create ICON's for uniconified object modules or files. It is supposed to
be in the RKM somewhere but so far I haven't been able to find it.

Thanks!

It's in PART IV, Chapter 2, Workbench.  You will be using the icon.library.
Also see the "autodocs" for that library.  (Autodocs can be found in Appendix A
of the RKM.)

     I don't have a pointer to any documentation, but I can suggest an
approach which might work.  Load the Icon editor (it's in the System drawer
on your Workbench disk).  Load the Icon file from another object of the
same type (tool or project).  Modify the Icon image to suit your taste.
Save the modified Icon with the filename of the object with which you want
it to work.  Finally, use the Info option on the Workbench menu to change
the name of the default tool, etc.
