   I installed Procomm Plus on my PC (386SX-16) and added the application
   to Windows.  I decided to replace the telephone type icon with an
   icon that I had from an icon library.  Using the Program Manager, I was 
   able to add the icon to the Group Window and it turn out right.  However, 
   if the application is running and I Minimize it to sit on the desk top, 
   the icon appears as a DOS icon.

   Did I miss something?  What do I have to do to make this Minimized icon
   look like the icon I added?

Well, here goes my understanding.  A program can have two types of
icons associated with it.  The first is the one you see in the program
manager.  You get this when you install a program when the program
manager reads the icon out of the .exe file, or when you change the
icon in the program manager.  I'll bet that they are stored in the
.grp files, but I'm not sure.  The second type of icon is actually
stored in the .exe file.  This is the icon which is displayed when the
program is minimized.  A program can change the icon which it uses as
well.  To change this icon you either have to have all of the source
and rebuild it from that source, or, you can edit the resources
(icons, bitmaps, dialogs, and such) using something such as the White
Water ToolKit.
