How do you do this?  I have not noticed anything that allows you to set the app icon in the PBC170 docs.  It is fairly well hidden, even in the IDE...  Does anyone know how this can be set?

I just submitted a request to move the icon into the object source code and to eliminate the Additional Properties window in favor of the object property tabs.

Variable Types are part of the object source but Application Icon is not. The icon name and the default fonts are in a binary only object named appname.pra stored in the same library as the application object.

Hi Gary;

   The PBC still relies on the application EXE icon being associated via the Application Object Class - just like the IDE.

Export of the application object does not include the icon in the source.  From the sounds of it, you are saying that if you compile an app from source you cannot set the application icon.  Thus, Roland's request below.  (Just trying to confirm).
