Ed, You might want to mention that you have to have 32 bit quickdraw
installed to use this feature. (I Think?) I kept trying to do 
this but the selection rectangle made the Icon totally black. After
your post (it was the second one that I read about this ability) I
put the 32bit quickdraw init into my system folder and now it works
as you say.

Ed,  If your not running 32 bit qd then I don't know what's going
on.
