        ICOPIC5.ZIP              One hundred custom icons for the Psion 3a
        -----------              -----------------------------------------

        created by Neil Bee      (30.7.95)


When ICOPIC5.ZIP is unzipped there should be three files:

        ICONS.ZIP       ...unzip this to reveal 100 superb icons.

        README.TXT      ...the file your reading now.

        VIEW-ME.GIF     ...all 100 icons displayed together with names
                                (makes picking which to use easier).

Personalise your Psion with these custom icons.  They're ideal for use as group
icons, list aliases, or even for your own programs.  If you don't know how to 
use custom icons for groups or lists, don't panic a step by step guide is to 
be found at the end of this text.

I've been creating icons for the Psion 3a for quite a while now, (it was a good 
stress buster whilst at university), a selection of which are contained within 
this file.  In order to make the file size small enough not to take forever 
to download I've limited this file to 100 icons.  At present I've created just
over 600 (100 of which are included in this file).  If you'd like these please 
send a cheque to cover the price of the disk, post and packaging (of course if 
you *wish* to add any more, who am I to stop you ;-).  These extra icons 
include images based on Astronomy, Biology, Medicine, Religion, Education,
Animals, Plants, Physics, Electronics, Computing, and *much* more.  If you 
have any specific requirements, let me know and I will ensure that suitable 
icons are on your disk.

        How to use these icons
        ----------------------

Using custom icons for your groups and lists helps make your Psion more 
personal.  If your not sure what groups and lists are, look in your Series 3a
User Guide index under "System Screen (Create new list/group)" (pages 257 and
258 of the English 2mb version).  If your still stuck as to how to use these 
icons, here's a step by step guide to creating a group with a custom icon...

  **  If you are not familiar with how your Psion stores and organises 
      the files you create, now would be a good time to learn.  In the 
      index of your user guide look up "Directories" and "File Selector".


        1       You've switched your Psion on and in front of you is the 
                system screen.

        2       Hold down the [Psion] button and [G].

        3       You should now see the "Create new group" dialogue box.

        4       Type in whatever you want to call your group
                i.e. games.  DO NOT PRESS ENTER
        
        5       Using the cursor keys, move down until the word "Default"
                is higlighted.

        6       Press [Tab].

        7       Your now looking at the "Choose icon" dialogue box.

        8       Press either the [left] or [right] cursor keys.

        9       Again using the cursor keys, move [down] once to highlight
                "Custom icon: Name".

        10      Press [Tab].

        11      Hopefully you should now see the directory structure of
                your Psion's internal drive.

        **

        12      Move to where ever you have put the icon pic files and
                highlight the file you wish to use.

        13      Press [Enter] three times.

        14      A new icon should now be on your System screen.  This is your 
                new group.  When you select it, press the [Space bar].  After 
                it opens, you can now install your applications in the 
                standard manner inside the group, rather than cluttering up 
                your system screen.


        If your still stuck, get in touch and I'll try to help.
