- Sorry! I don't have RISC OS 3.xx yet, so I couldn't check these
- things out! Removing the masks from all the icons halves the space
- used, and I couldn't see any reason for masks on most of the icons...
- Not a bad try, though, for a RISC OS 2.00 user, is it? ;-)

- I puzzled over this one - I think it's probably for the "adjust size"
- icon *hole* when you don't have an "adjust size" icon.
- (If you have vert & horz scrollbars, but no a.s. icon in the bottom right
- corner of the window, I suspect it uses the "blicon" sprite instead
- of the resize sprite...)
