OS X Standalone Question Rerun

[Simon Lord]

Yep. It was answered a few night ago by Mark Talluto

Snip:

This is more work.  One option is to download the latest 
developer tools from apples site.  Go to the developer section.  
It is a big download.  It will install all kinds of neat tools 
some of which you will need for icons and handling the menu you 
are talking about.

The data is stored in a resource called:  plst
1.  Use resedit in classic to get the current data from your 
standalone from this plst resource.  Copy it.
2.  Paste it into bbedit
3.  Open the file you save from bbedit into PropertyListEditor.  
Change the needed items from there.  You can edit it with an XML 
editor or the application from apple called PropertyListEditor 
(which comes with the developer tools download).  Save that for 
later use if you want.  There is a dump button in that app that 
will put the xml data into a blank field near the bottom of the 
screen.  Copy that.
4.  Go back to resedit and paste it over the old data that you 
copied originally.
5.  Save those changes in resedit.
6.  You are done.

Let me know if you have any probs doing this.
