Setting up an application's Icon

OK, I give up. I'm finally ready to wrap up my Coloring Book Program, but I can find nothing that tells me how to setup the Icon that I want to use for it. It's got to be simple, right? Any help would be appreciated. The gRevAppIcon does nothing for me. TIA, Joe Wilkins

To be fair, the 'easy-to-use' description occurs in a list of downloadable development tools. It seems to me that in the context of that list (part of which is below), the phrase 'easy-to-use' seems a reasonable description of Revolution with regard to new programmers. Best, Mark
