Unlike the alert icons which seem more like voodoo, the edit menu behaviors seem to be pretty well documented out there. In addition to being used in many programs, the constants for these are published in the UIResources.h header file. There are no public constants for the alert icon bitmaps. I think we're safe using this in 68K-based apps, at least. Who knows how things will change when and if we get an ARM-based API for writing applications?
