two, probably trivial owl questions that I can't seem to figure out.

Specifying which icon to use in the file manager.  I have an mdi app
I'm writing, but when I set it up in the file manager, it uses the
icon from the child window instead of from the frame. when minimized,
all windows have the proper icon.  Is there something I'm forgetting
to set?  Can you assign an icon to an application?

Using WM_SYSCOMMAND.  How do I process this so the other functions
still work?  I want to append a menu item to the system menu, but
there is no parent method to call.  when I add this new method, none
of the other functions work.  I know how to make it work with the
SDK, but not with an owl construct.

many thanks in advance,
eddie
