To Dave Lyons:  For some reason I couldn't get this letter to you through
E-mail like I was able to with my first one, so I'll post it...

Dave,

Sorry to bother you again but I'm stuck once more trying to draw icons in
windows with DrawIcon.  I guess my problem isn't that I'm not doing the 
DrawIcon parameters right, but that my icon format must be wrong.
I figured out how to draw an icon in a dialog box using NewDItem, where
the format for the icon was

MyIcon:
record
	BoundsRect:	Rect;
	Data:		Array[1..11, 1..7] of byte;
end;

(remember I'm using TML Pascal).  Then I used the StuffHex procedure like

StuffHex(@MyIcon.Data[1], 'abcdef12345678');
StuffHex(@MyIcon.Data[2], '00030030400201');
...
StuffHex(@MyIcon.Data[11],'10357182748274');

or whatever (this for the Dialog box version).  Now in your letter to me you
said I should do it using an array of char like array[0..200] of char, and
then using StuffHex like

StuffHex(@MyIcon[0], '1029492412a2');
StuffHex(@MyIcon[6], '........

and so on.  Is this the method for IconItem's or DrawIcon?  I tried this way
but it still didn't work with DrawIcon.  What exactly is the format for
a DrawIcon icon?

Thanks very much.  Hopefully I won't have to bother you again. :-)
