It's much easier than that in  2.0: just create a file called  .dir.tiff
in your documentation directory  - not only  will Digital Librarian  see
the icon, but the view will too.   Thank God that we don't have to  putz
around with the .index directory and  whatnot anymore.  You can  replace
the standard  directory  folder icon  of  any directory  (including  the
crummy "little house"  icon that  represents your  home directory)  with
your own cool custom icon.
