- I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I found a major wedge
- in IM vol 7. OK, it says that you can get a flashing SICN with NMInstall (?-
- I don't have it here in front of me right now) by passing a handle to the
- resource. Fine, that works. But it also says that youu can pass a handle to
- an Icon Family that contains a small color icon (ics8, i suppose) and it will
- flash the color icon instead. The problem is that there is no such thing as
- an Icon Family as an object. An Icon Family is a concept, a group of resources
- with the same ID numbers, but how do you pass a Handle to a concept?????
- I've tried passing handles to the individual members of the Icon Family (ICN#,
- ics#,icl8,ics8) with no luck. I also tried passing the resource number and
- and a Handle to the resource number. AAARRRGGGHHH!!! What do they really mean?
-
- If anyone has ever gotten this to work, I'd love to hear from you.

- Thanks,
