Better yet, use the "manipulation" button to bring up the manipulation
menu of the object you want to change the icon of. Choose "Settings",
then choose "GENERAL", then choose "EDIT" beside the icon.  The Icon
Editor automatically starts.  You can change the icon, then when you
save it, the icon changes on the desktop.

Here's something interesting.  I have a black and white gif picture of
myself that I scanned on our apple scanner at the office.  I displayed
this using CSHOW in a DOS box.  I then hit "<ALT>-<HOME>" to display
the image in a PM window.  From there, I used the "Mark" and "Copy"
options to copy my face out of the picture into the clipboard.

Next, I went to my "Kevin's Stuff" folder, and edited the icon.  I
chose "paste" inside the Icon Editor.  The Icon Editor automatically
took the bitmap image from the clipboard, scaled it to 32 by 32, and
made it my Icon.

Now to get into my folder, I can punch myself in the nose with the mouse #8-)

OS/2, I love it.

P.S., if you do this, try making your eyes the "inverse" colour, then
move it over the desktop.  Nice twinkle in the eye effect.
