Actually that was a brilliant shot :)

It seems there is a long standing bug in "Resource Mover" ..

local iconList

on mouseUp
   local sourceStack, sCount, posoffset, newstuff
   send "mouseUp" to button "Delete Resources"
   put the motifIcons of stack "Answer Dialog" & cr \
       & the macintoshIcons of stack "Answer Dialog" & cr \
       & the windows95Icons of stack "Answer Dialog" & cr \
       & the osxicons of stack "Answer Dialog" & cr \
       & the xpicons of stack "Answer Dialog"  into iconList
...........

Note that there is no cr AFTER iconList ! and the list has the 
following icon IDs

328
329
330
331
992
993
994
995
996
997
998
999
10811
10812
10813
10810
10801
10802
10803
10800

Now, later...

if the hilite of button "MetaCard Icons" then -- if check box checked
     set the defaultStack to sourceStack
      checkStack


and the handler checkStack has

  if the icon of button b of card c is not 0
       then put the icon of button b of card c & return after iconList

I have only one icon in my stack and it's icon is 359

So, because there is no return after iconList it puts 359 after 10800 
and the last line of the list is now

.....
10800359

when it should be

.....
10800
359


As a result 2 icons are lost, one from default icon list (10800) and 
one my icon (359)

Hope I was clear in description and may be Klaus should fix it for next 
release.
All it takes is to put return after iconList when it's filled with 
default icons under MouseUp

     & the xpicons of stack "Answer Dialog" & cr  into iconList

best regards
