First of all, thank you to all who replied, and the final word is this:
(forgive me if everything I say here has been posted, I've lost the ability
to distinguish mail and news in my mind at this point.. blame it on hunger
and fatigue    :(        )

  To touch up an icon you've pasted onto a folder or hard drive,
    Edit the invisible file called "Icon" in the root directory of the
    folder or drive and change the mask there

and second, the color icl8's and icl4's and ICON's etc for files are in the
resource fork.

Come to think of it, I'm starting to remember that being posted here. Hmm.
Could this be the first instance ever of something on the net being posted
twice?       (said in extreemely sarcastic tone, for those flame-happy
              not-so-sarcastic people out there in netland)


Ok the second part of my post... I hesitate to post a message saying something
like "I finally got System 7!" or "I finally got Inside Macintosh VI!", but
I feel I just have to throw in a comment here, and to set up the statement, I
feel compelled to say .....

		"I finally got Inside Macintosh VI!"  *

But that's not my statement.. My statement is..

          "WOW, is that book BIG!"

I kind of expected it, since it HAS been described as the most impressive
software release in Macintosh history since 1984, but I didn't expect it to
be HUGE.. Wow..  Great job Apple!  I'm glad everything was covered, and
someone didn't sit there and complain about how much bookshelf space that
information would take up, and wouldn't it be such a waste to have the book
that big.... (I know, an apology was posted for the "No-silly-disk-wasting-
stuff-in-my-system-software" post, but I just had to get in SOMETHING..
I apologize myself)...  I look forward to exploring it in detail..

..Jeff Keegan

p.s.  By the way, am I the only person on the net that noticed the mountains
in the "option"-about box in system 7?  I hate to ruin suprises like that, but
I was touched...

   Nostalgia is great, even if I don't know if I spelled it correctly or not...
