You have to edit the __header portion of the __ICON segment of the
App.  The best way to do it is to pull it out of the App with
SegHoarker and change it with Edit.

The format goes a little something like this:


S	<extension>	<app name>	<icon name>


Those are tabs and not spaces...  So if you want to make Edit the
default app for tiff files for some reason, put this in the __header
portion of Edit:

S tiff Edit unknown


This will make Edit appear in the tools inspector.  Unknown just tells
the workspace to get the icon from somewhere else (in this case from
the OS, which already has a tiff icon).
