IconInfo              NAME/F, WAIT/S

This command allows you to modify the characteristics of icons such as Stack
size, Default Tool and Tool Types.  It operates in a similar fashion to the
Information menu of Workbench.

To use this command you may either select the '.info' files themselves or
the actual files or directories the icons belong to.

A requester will appear when you run this command on a valid icon.  The
actual appearance of the requester will vary depending on the type of icon,
but in all cases the actual icon imagery will be displayed.

The icon imagery can be replaced simply by dragging another icon onto the
requester, a menu will pop up giving you the choice to copy the Original,
NewIcon or Both image/s.

You can disable/enable tooltypes (by adding or removing parentheses) by
double-clicking on the tooltype line.

The requester also has a popup menu that can be accessed by clicking the
right mouse button over the requester.  The menu will give you the option
to edit the icon using IconEdit, Iconian, etc.  The editor can be chosen by
using the Pick Editor menuitem.

You can also change the type of icon it is from the following choices:
Device, Drawer, Tool, Project and Trashcan.  The requester will be refreshed
to reflect the change of icon type.

Icon borders and labels can be turned on/off individually from the menu.

NewIcons or Original imagery can be chosen as the default for the icon, and
you can choose to 'strip' either of them to reduce icon size.  If either of
the images is missing then these choices will be ghosted.

Giving the "WAIT" switch will ensure that any later commands will not
execute until the requester has closed.
