- IconDispatch is the trap that the new (Sys7) Icon Manager (also known
- as IconUtils) has allocated to it. the Icon Manager (as documented in a
- tech note somewhere) is what Finder 7, the Chooser, the Notification Manager,
- the CTB, etc. all use to display "Icon Families" which includes the new types
- of icons (icxx) introduced for Sys7.
-
- If you check out the Tech Note, you'll find a number of the selectors
- for _IconDispatch listed along with routines for calling them so you can
- draw your own icon families easily, or use them for sending notifications,etc.
