	Standard NeXT Distribution Images
	
	The images in the composite image palettes located as:
	
		/usr/lib/NextStep/Resources/Shared*.tiff
		
	are automatically grabbed by the shared library NXImage code
	on a look-up by name and inserted into Buttons or other appropriate
	views.
	
		The enclosed SystemBitmaps.nib includes both these
	and the images known to InterfaceBuilder.app by default, hence
	can be used in palettes without inclusion in a palette.  Replacing
	/NextDeveloper/Apps/InterfaceBuilder.app/images.table with the
	one enclosed will cause IB to automatically display all of the
	system images, but not the IB specific ones in EVERY .nib you
	open, ready for drag to the appropriate place.
	
		NIBs can even be retro-fitted without compile to save space
	in existing apps, so long as you have an appropriate copy of IB.

		The SystemBitmaps.nib is really only especially useful to
	find the names of system bitmaps, because the images are layed
	out in matrixes of buttons.  The ButtonCell Inspector for each button
	will show the image name, and a related hilighted name (if any).
	
		Running test interface on the .nib will allow you to press
	the buttons, of course, to see the toggle action between images.
	
		This is all already on your system, except the .nib and expanded
	images.table (though since you are reading the .rtf file, you likely
	already have the .nib and .table, too.
