You can do this by running the Resource Workshop (which comes with D5) and editing .res file to include the icon.
Or, you can create a .rc file that looks like this:
1 ICON "MyIcon.ico"
Then compile that to a .res file usung brcc32.exe in the delphi bin directory like this:
brcc32 MyRes.rc
Then include the res file in your app by including this line in the .DPR file:
{$R MyRes.res}

Raymond.

For simple stuff like puttin an icon in a res file just use a text editor and do this:
1 ICON MyIcon.ico
Then save it and follow the steps I outlined above...
Also look at simonets sample project - it quite good, though it is oriented towards resource DLLs, it will show you some useful information.

No rwilson, the brcc32 did not report any errors.
when i opened the .res file, the icon is present but i cant edit it or even view it...
can i add icons in my res file without erasing the old icons in the res file?

You should be able to add items to the res file using the image editor:
Right-click on the contents item in the tree view, select new and a popup will appear asking you to choose the type of resource to add...
