Interesting.  Page 25 of Apple's ResEdit 1.2b3 manual says: "SICN (small icon)
resources are edited much as other..."

However, working draft 5 of Inside Mac V (cute, huh?) says on p. 4 "SICN:
script symbol"

My only comment on the matter is that since Apple has SICN's for the
application symbol, open folder, and closed folder icons in the system file,
they are not intended only for script manager use, so why complain if people
say "small icon."  No harm done, and it doesn't seem quite wrong either.
