      Not yet having MPW, I still use RMaker to install icons into my
      applications, INITs, and so forth.  However, the icons don't seem
      to be permanant icons.  What I mean is this: if I rebuild the
      desktop, the icon will remain if the name of the file is identical
      to what it was when I installed the icon (the name used in the TEXT
      file submitted to RMaker.)  However, if the name differs at all, I
      lose the icons (although all I have to do is rename the file to the
      original name and rebuild and my icons return.)

      This kinda sucks and I was wondering why this is happening.  What is
      the difference between my application and say, MacWrite, which you can
      change the name of, rebuild and have it retain its icon?	I can relay
      my RMaker source file to anyone who may want to look at it.  Any body
      have any indication of what may be going on?

      Thanks much, Ando Sonenblick: sonenbli@oxy.edu
