- I had to open the settings on the OS/2 object, "edit" the icon, and save
- it as a file. Then you can use the icon for any object you want, although
- it's a royal pain to select an icon. (Open Settings, General, Find, Locate,
- Path, OK, Find, OK.) OS/2 is going to wear out my mouse!
-
- Is there a better way? I wish I could skip the step of having to save the
- icon in a file, and just use the icon of another object.
