Hi Alex: Thanks for this. I wondered if I could use ResEdit but had no idea where to find the appropriate resourec. Just one other point. After putting it in Photoshop should I use 'Save as PNG' or "Save for Web" in which case should I use 8 or 24 bit colour? Or does it not matter anyway? Thanks for your help.
