Q:  I want to find my application's icon and put it on a disabled button on my panel, just like the SavePanel and other NeXTstep panels do.  How do I go about this?

A:  Creating a disabled button with your application's icon is a simple task.  You can do everything without leaving InterfaceBuilder!  Create a button the size and placement you want.  Now open the Inspector for this button.  Check the "Disabled" box and enter "app" for the name of icon for this button.  Set the Icon Position to be icon only, no title.  While in InterfaceBuilder, the button displays the application icon for InterfaceBuilder (the screwdriver), but once your program is compiled and run, the button has your application's icon.  If you haven't created a custom icon for your application, the button displays the generic application icon.
