           ^^
 These two digits should be hex! ie 0x400CA and 400CB.

The three messages are:

 Message_Iconize:      0x400CA: issued by the Wimp when SHIFT+quit clicked
 Message_WindowClosed: 0x400CB: issued by the Wimp when a window is closed/deleted
 Message_WindowInfo:   0x400CC: issued by the Iconizer application

Note that if you only have the one iconized sprite you want to use,
the easiest thing is to call it ic_<task name> and don't bother
responding to any of the messages, eg ic_edit, ic_filer, ic_draw,
ic_paint. For consistency, you should use ic_? from the Wimp's sprite
pool and then usually put the small version of the filetype sprite in
the middle of it.
