Someone talked about getting small icons in ResEdit and pasting them into a
file's Get Info Box. It only seems to work when you copy from the Icon Family
Edit window. This is because copying in this window copies as a PICT, which is
what the Get Info wants. Copying the icon resource is a different thing.

Also, I poked around and found that TeachText is High-level Event Aware.
That gives you at least one program to manipulate when QuickKeys comes
out with its upgrade that does Events.

Last, I have had several ResEdit 2.1 bombs when cutting and pasting ICN#s.
Especially when dragging an ICN# to an ics# in the Icon Family Edit window.
The bombs don't happen when dragging icl8 to ics8, for example.

Boy is ResEdit 2.1 nice! Who needs to buy games when you can take ResEdit
and poke around your system?
