Icon in Standalone

[Randy Hengst]

Hi Scott,

The pList wouldn't open with a double-click, but I could open it in a  
text editor. I've rebuilt the stack step by step without adding sound  
and the new one displays the icon in the finder. This is a puzzle  
stack and is the basis of five stacks -- all of them display the same  
problem with the pList and icon display.

Thanks for your help.

take care,
randy
