icon id 3001 where are you?

[erik hansen]

thanks/danke Sjoerd,

those "icons" turned up as images in a bkgnd
called "HCIcons" which i finally located in the
"Edit" window with cmd-"L". the image ids are
3001,3002 etc. and everything works well so far.
what a thrill to see my little guys moving around
in living color.
