Well with out going into a lot of details, ResEdit doesn't put ICON's on
the clipboard ina form that your standard applications can use.
Solution:
When the Icon you want is on the screen {at any time, finder, resEdit, ect}
type cmd-shift-3, that will take a "snapshot" of the screen and save it as
a MacPaint document on your disk. You can then go into most any graphics
editor that read MacPaint files and cut/paste it where ever you want.
Hope this helps!!
