IMPORTANT !
Every folder can contain up to 240 icons. If you have more icons
of the same subject, you should create another folder.


THE TOOLBAR
-------------------------
1) Create new map
	If you have icons of a new category, you can create
	another map. An inputbox pops up where you can fill in
	the name of the  new map. If that name already exists,
	an error occurs.
	With the menufile 'Move', you can place these icons in
	that new map you just created. 

2) Rename map
	If for some reason you have to rename a certain map,
	here you can do it. An inputbox pops up, telling you what
	map you will rename. Just type in the new name and hit the
	button. A messagebox appears, asking you if you are sure.

3) Delete map
	If you want to remove a certain map, hit this button.
	A messagebox asks you if you are sure.
	If the map contains files, it cannot be removed. Thats
	another safety. If you want to remove a map, it must be
	empty.

4) Delete all icons
	This will remove all icons in the folder you're working with.
	Once deleted, they will be gone forever, so think twice
	before you hit this button !

5) Copy whole map
	This button moves the whole map to a map of your choice.
	The original map remains empty. If you don't want it anymore,
	use the 'Delete map'-button.

6) Search for icons
	Here you get another screen, where you can find icons on
	your harddisk, diskette or CD-rom. You can copy these icons
	to the map '_tempicons' in your IconAlbumDeluxe-directory.
	If this map doesn't exists, it will be created.
	Note: the icons you found WILL NOT BE REMOVED, only
	copied to the '_tempicons'-map. That way important icons will
	remain on their original place.	
	Returning to the main form, you can see the map '_tempicons'.
	Here you can move the new icons to their destination-map.

7) Helpfile
	Another form, containing the file you are now reading.


THE DIRLISTBOX
------------------------------
	The dirlistbox always has the same path, namely the path
	where you put the IconAlbumDeluxe in. Here you have also
	the maps with the different icons. You don't have to click
	a folder twice, just once to see the icons it contains.
	The folder you clicked will be highlighted, and that's the
	folder to rename, delete, ...
	A label tells you the exact number of icons that folder
	contains.
	Another label tells you the exact path you just clicked.


THE ICON-PAGE
---------------------------
	Here all icons of the folder you clicked will be displayed.
	Only 240 icons can be displayed, so if that folder contains
	more, they will no be shown. That's why you should not
	store more than 240 icons in the same folder. If you do have
	more, just create another folder.
	When you click (once) an icon, it will be shown in the frame
	'Selected Icon'. Left, the original size, right the double size.
	That's the icon you selected, and to work with.
	Holding the mouse over an icon shows the tooltiptext with
	the name of that icon. This will also be shown in the frame
	'Selected Icon'.


THE POPUP-MENU
--------------------------------
All commands from the popup-menu are related to the selected
icon.
Clicking an icon in the icon-page triggers a popup-menu, with
the following features:

1) Save Icon as
	You can save the icon to a map where you need icons.
	Example: where you make a program, and need icons for
	a toolbar.

2) Move Icon
	Move the icon to another map. This other map must be one
	of the maps in the IconAlbumDeluxe-folder. If it doesn't exist,
	it will be created. This feature has been coded to make this
	program as flexible as possible.

3) Delete Icon
	When you don't want an icon anymore, just delete it.
	It will NOT BE FOUND IN THE TRASHCAN !!!.
	So when you delete an icon, it will be gone forever !

4) Rename Icon
	With this feature you can rename the selected icon.
	If the new name already exists, an error occurs.

Written in VB6 !
If someone is interested for the IconAlbumDeluxe, working with
VB4/32, just drop me a line and ask me nicely.
Perhaps I'll code it for you...
