Thanks! I thought it was something to do with the sed line. I'm not the best
with regular expressions. Also, thanks for the tip on putting that stuff into
another file as a script. I'll do that right away. Now, does anyone see what's
wrong with the sed script? Is there a better way than that to set different
icons on different files? Using sed feels really hacky.
