I'm not sure if it works in Snow Leopard but in Finder, select the
application from you applications folder and do a command-t. I know in Lion
that will add it to the Dock, but I don't remember if that command was
available in SL.
If that does not work, you need to find the running app in the Dock and do
a shift-control-option-m to open the context menu. You will either find the,
Keep in Dock, item there, or it is a sub menu of, Options.
