Well, here's sort of a work-around: make a .tiff file that's big
enough to hold your icons.  When you "get it right," select a
bounding rectangle (it helps if you turn on the Coordinates
display), choose Save As and click the Save Document button into
Save Selection.  Icon will write out small images properly, it
just can't read them back in.  If you want to view a small .tiff
file, drag it into a Draw window.  Hold Alternate and grab a
corner knobbie to magnify the image.
