If an app doesn't have the necessary MachO segment to hold an icon image, then the Workspace manager assumes the app is not window-based but shell-based. So it goes ahead and displays the generic icon and runs it in a shell when you double-click on it. Solution is to give your program an icon; it's as easy as entering the name of the icon file in the Project window of IB. If you don't feel creative enough to make up an icon at the moment, you can just borrow one from the examples directory and use that. Ali Ozer, NeXT Developer Support aozer@NeXT.com
