Thanks, Dave Lyons, for the info on using the DrawIcon procedure.  However,
this only partially answers my question.  What I also need is how I would
convert the hex representation of an icon (each pixel designated by a hex
digit 1-F, representing it's color) into an icon in the first place  (not
from an icon editor but right in my program so I can then use DrawIcon).
As I said in my previous post, I am using TML Pascal so I'd appreciate
Pascal examples although I also know C.  If anyone knows how to do this
and would be willing to take the time to give me an example, I'd really
appreciate it.  I suppose this is explained in the toolbox reference
manuals but unfortunately I don't have access to them yet.

Another question someone may know the answer to is how I would write text
to the desktop screen using something other than Shaston 8 font.  For example,
how would I write with New York, Bold, 24 point.  I have tried various
combinations of the Font Manager commands to no avail, and using DrawString
(maybe I shouldn't use DrawString?).  Again, thanks much for help.
