I am fairly new to Macintosh programming, but I am quickly getting
familiar with it.  There is one thing that is puzzling me now...

I am trying to make my own icon for an application that I wrote.
I know how to do this (with MPW & Rez, etc.), but there seems to be
a problem with "installing" it.  The first time I built the application
with the correct signature, etc, the icon came up on the screen nicely.

Unfortunately, I want to modify this icon.  It seems that the mac system
(maybe the Desktop file) is refusing to forget the original icon, and
no matter what I set it to, the original is still used.  I am using
system software 6.0 - is this a bug?  Or am I not doing something???

Any help would be appreciated.  Inside Mac does not go into much detail
about the finder interface.
