Just select it and on the menu Icons/Leave out.
It`s just how it works on your Miggy.
when you do that,you can see a new file into the root of
the partition where you have selected that icon with the
name .backdrop,and inside that file you can find the path to
the original file.
The only diference is that you cannot see the icon in his original
place,but the file itself it`s in his original place.

Maybe the problem resides on my poor mental implementation
of realtime spanish-to-english translation module.
Maybe i can replace it as easy as i can replace something
on this Amazing AmigaOS!!

Then you can copy some icons,make it as a projects
and attach a text file to each one like this:

dh0:games/quake2/quake2 config (whathever)
then you edit icon properties an assing c:iconx to this icon
copy all of then into your selected drawer and thats all
maybe some need kind of tweaking for working,like adding some stack.

I can,try to do some kind of script with gui in
Arexx&Awnpipe to make this kind of "drawered shortcuts"
automagically,but for now,i am very interested and motivated
trying to do the first AmigaOne/OS4 compatible Demo for the same
day it(AOne with OS4) reaches the street.
that for now is a MUST for my projects priorities.

try using the command ed executing from workbench/execute command or via shell:

example:

ed dh0:games_drawer/first_game
 it creates a empty text file and allows you to edit it,
then you do some commands like your startup-sequence:
stack 16000
dh0:games/sokoban/asokoban

then you save it, open this drawer,select window/show all,
select the icon first_game and then menu icons/properties,
you set the icon as project and in the "icon" label put "c:iconx" as
default tool.save it and,well,your first drawered shortcut ;)
later you can change the icon`s image.

Well, Dh0:games is an example, you don`t need to
make this specific path. ;) its only one example.
perhaps we can join some irc channel,point me to one
server/channel and i wish to explain all better.
