- There's a potentially much easier solution...

- As long as the icon's pathname isn't completely blank, System 6 will

- If it doesn't ask you if you want to Locate the application, then you

- remember the whole pathname, just put some bogus pathname in there, and then
- use the Finder to Locate the correct one.
