say want to use pc.xbm as you've described. Add
the following to your tkined.defaults file:
tkined.group8: pc.xbm Special:PC Group
then you create a group as follows:
set id [ined -noupdate create GROUP]
ined -noupdate icon $id pc.xbm
...
of course you'll need the code to determine what icon to use for the
group based on the icon used by the grouped objects. The key is,
that, unless you tell tkined (via the tkined.defaults line above),
that pc.xbm is a group icon, tkined won't use pc.xbm when it draws the
group, even if though you've added 'ined -noupdate icon $id pc.xbm'.
