Thanks for your help. Did the Show package contents bit. Very helpful. I think that I have enough info now to start putting this together. Have also been reading Apple Tech Notes for plst and using Google.
It would be nice if Rev put together a tutorial on this subject also on standalone.
Looking forward to 2.0.
Regards ... Bob

Can you point me to a .app file and where do I enter "Show package contents". This is new to me.Use finder to browse in Applications. Pick an application such as "Image Capture". Control-click on the icon. (Or right-click if your mouse has a right button and it is set up for that.) You will see an option for "Show Package Contents"; select that. That will open a folder you can browse in. Explore that. Many files are viewable and with the right tools they are editable.When 2.0 comes, the standalones it creates will look familiar.Will I still be faced with this problem or will 2.0 provide steps in the bldr to solve my current problem?The builder will help a lot, I believe, and you may not even have to look into a package. However, poking around at this may give you an idea of what icons are like and help you understand what is going on. Also, as Mark indicated, you may want to directly edit parts yourself eventually. I'm just learning about this myself and exploring has helped me.

I think that I am getting closer but still have questions. I installed the OS X Dev Tools and am making some headway. Mark, your video was very helpful. Please excuse my ignorance in this matter.

I made a QT video that shows the editing of the packages. While it
does not have any audio, it will give you an idea of how it works. You
