  icon
       
           A small picture intended to represent something (a
          file, directory, or action) in a graphical user interface.
          When an icon is clicked on, some action is performed such as
          opening a directory or aborting a file transfer.
       
          Icons are usually stored as bitmap images.  Microsoft
          Windows uses a special bitmap format with file name extension
          ".ico" as well as embedding icons in executable (".exe") and
          Dynamically Linked Library (DLL) files.
       
          The term originates from Alan Kay's theory for designing
          interfaces which was primarily based on the work of Jerome
          Bruner.  Bruner's second developmental stage, iconic, uses a
          system of representation that depends on visual or other
          sensory organization and upon the use of summarising images.

  Icon
       
           A descendant of SNOBOL4 with Pascal-like
          syntax, produced by Griswold in the 1970's.  Icon is a
          general-purpose language with special features for string
          scanning.  It has dynamic types: records, sets, lists,
          strings, tables.  If has some object oriented features but
          no modules or exceptions.  It has a primitive Unix
          interface.
       
          The central theme of Icon is the generator: when an expression
          is evaluated it may be suspended and later resumed, producing
          a result sequence of values until it fails.  Resumption takes
          place implicitly in two contexts: iteration which is
          syntactically loop-like ('every-do'), and goal-directed
          evaluation in which a conditional expression automatically
          attempts to produce at least one result.  Expressions that
          fail are used in lieu of Booleans.  Data backtracking is
          supported by a reversible assignment.  Icon also has
          co-expressions, which can be explicitly resumed at any time.
       
          Version 8.8 by Ralph Griswold  includes
          an interpreter, a compiler (for some platforms) and a
          library (v8.8).  Icon has been ported to Amiga, Atari,
          CMS, Macintosh, Macintosh/MPW, MS-DOS, MVS, OS/2,
          Unix, VMS, Acorn.

     2. (Gr. Ch.) A sacred picture representing the Virgin Mary,
        Christ, a saint, or a martyr, and having the same function
        as an image of such a person in the Latin Church. The term
        is used especially for a highly stylized and
        conventionalized representation of a holy person, rich in
        symbolism and used in devotional services in many of the
        eastern Orthodox churches, especially the Greek and
        Russian Orthodox Churches.
        [Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC]

        form suggests the nature or function of the object;
        especially, such a symbol as viewed on the computer
        screen.
  
     Note: In a graphical user interface, pointing to and clicking
           on an icon may cause any of several types of actions,
           such as opening a file or executing a program,
           depending on how the icon properties are defined.
           [PJC]
  
     5. any object of uncritical devotion.
