 Icon in ICONS.RSC: "FILE" ⇨ NoteThe specified icon will only be used if there 
is no explicit assignment in ICONS.INF.

 AV object type:    VA_OB_FILE (4)

      A file may be displayed in a directory window or installed on the
      desktop or in a group. Under MiNT and MagiC! devices, which also 
      appear as files in the directory 'U:\dev\', receive special handling.

The filename and attributes for file icons in directory windows may be
edited by selecting the icon then calling the 'Show Info...' option in 
the 'File' menu. The icon text for files installed on the desktop and in 
groups may be edited (aliased) by selecting the icon followed by the 
'File' > 'Show Info...' option.

Thing can Open, Show or Print files provided that suitable applications 
to process the relevant file-type have been installed.
