- The problem with this approach (which is what I used to do) is that it
- only transfers one of the icon forms. A better way is to use the "Save
- as" choice from the IconEdit menu to write the icon (all forms) to a
- temporary file, then use Find on the program object that you want to
- recieve the icon.
