Applications with different names to their !<names> and iconisation.

There has been a discussion about minimising an app window and chaning the
iconised text to something other than the appname, but keep the ic_appname
for the sprite.

Its come to my attention that Acorn seem to call !Calc calculator - which
annoys the hell out of me as I cant find its sprite anyway from the name
calculator.

It seems that if you dont do anything with iconisation (ie ignore the messages)
then the text becomes the first word (if < 20 chars) of the title of the window.
W
Well actually it looks like its only 10 chars (minimise the configuration window
and you get Configurat)

Dont know if this will help anyone, but its annoying in the extreeme that
1) I have no documentation
2) I cant seem to get any
3) The stuff that I do get is wrong
4) There is no app similar to !Spy on the PC (no flames, its useful)
5) This may be a load of rubbish as I dont use Ro 3.1 so it may be fixed.

Frustraited.
