- Yepp, and nope, scripts should have PROJECT icons, but the tool should
- be 'IconX'. Just fire up iconedit, drag the TOOL icon to it's window
- and select PROJECT from the icon type menu...
- If you don't want the stupid IconX window, just add 'WINDOW=NIL:' as a
- tooltype...

- One tooltype you could use is CLI, which makes the little execute
- window pop up with the name of your script (or what ever...) in it. In
- that case the icon should ofcource be a TOOL.
