changing the programs icon?
Thanks!

No, but there are some moderately complex ones that might. A program
called RsrcEdit (for 68k palms) or Bird (for OS5 Palms) can do a lot of
low-level editing of applications, including their icons and their names
as well.

OK. Thanks! I'll look for them. Do you guys know of any bad ramifications of
doing this? Would it for instance mess up uninstallers, like RemoveIt?
Thanks!

*Probably* not. I'd think they'd work by database ID, which wouldn't be
changed by that kind of editing.

Am I the only curious about why you want to do this?
It is alleged that Randy Starkey claimed:

Is it just the display you're trying to change, or the actual program?
Several launchers have the ability to change the display name, and some
of them the launcher icon too, within the launcher. ZLauncher is one
such. This does not change the actual program, and if you exit the
third party launcher, you'll get the apps' actual name and icon again.

Basically because I have some apps with non-intuitive names and strange
icons. I'm on a Treo 650 and don't want to use a launcher. I know some
launchers can fix this also.

Jeff,
Right. I'm trying to avoid a launcher. I use ZLauncher on my T3 but this is
my Treo 650 and I'd rather not use a launcher on that.
