I don't know.  I think it's part of an attempt to create non-conflicting

If you want to quickly create a PICT resource, then "Copy" a picture
from MacPaint or MacDraw or something, and "Paste" the thing into the
ScrapBook.  You can get the 'PICT' out of the ScrapBook using ResEdit.
You still have to put up with the funny ID, however.
