Mark,
Thanks! Knowing about the icns resource was enough to get me going. I've been using ResEdit (which, of course, doesn't show the icns resource) Now my icons are all working great in OS9 even if I take them apart and put them back together. Not that hoping to build a bunch for OS9 but that has been bugging me for a long time and it is really satisfying to have a better understanding!

Hi Scott,

You can add an icns resource to the resource for of the application. I believe it has to be a particular ID number, but I don't remember exactly how it works.

I'm needing to "suck up" and "spit out" Mac OS9 applications. I'm unable to maintain the higher resolution icon that I have been pasting into the "Get Info" information window before "sucking up" the application. This icon isn't stored with the more primitive ions in the resfile: data. I've been looking for a way to use AppleScript but haven't got enough of a lead to make any headway, yet. Any ideas appreciated!
