Standalone RSRC Item?

[Ray Horsley]

In my app which is named LinkIt! I renamed the MetaCard.rsrc file to 
LinkIt.rsrc (I left out the exclamation mark since it usually causes 
problems).  I also replaced the text Metacard with LinkIt for all 
occurrences inside the file.  I did this in an attempt to get my own 
app and doc icons to appear on the desktop, a process I still don't 
fully understand.  So far I've gotten the app icon to appear, but my 
docs are taking the app icon, too, instead of the doc icon.  It's been 
a thorn in my side for a long time.  I'd love to see some a simple list 
of the steps to accomplish this on OSX, Classic and Windows posted 
somewhere.
