You can set the global gRevAppIcon before calling the ask or answer dialogs. 
Unfortunately, the globals appear to be reset every time to the defaults, so 
you have to set them just before using "ask" or "answer" commands, each time. I 
agree that it's more professional-looking to use your own app's icon in these 
dialogs. Here's what I do:

...
setupicons
answer "Here is an answer dialog with a custom icon."
...

on setUpIcons
   -- put this in your mainstack or library stack
   global gRevAppIcon
   put 2241 into gRevAppIcon -- the id of your custom icon
end setUpIcons
