How to Get Mac Apps on the Mac OS X Dock?

[Scott C. Kennedy]

Here's what I did...

1) Download a high-resolution image of the icon you want to use.
2) Then (if Using Leopard go to next step) open the Icon with 
GraphicConverter & save it.
3) In Finder, select the saved File (with a preview icon that shows the 
image) and hit APPLE-I (or select File -'Get Info')
4) In Finder, select the file you want to have that Icon, and hit 
APPLE-I (or select File -'Get Info')
5) Drag the top left image of the icon you want onto the top left image 
of the fiel you want it on.
6) Delight the world with your new-fu!
