Hi Russell

Mac files have two hidden properties set when they are 
created.

These are Type and Creator.Your dock problem has to do with 
Type.
It should be set to "APPL" in your applet if you want the 
dock to
take it. The creator type does not matter in this case.

Get a shareware program called "File Property Editor" and
drag your applet on to it. It will tell you what the file is
set at. Just change the Type to APPL and the dock should
accept it.
