This should be in Newbie Central, since this isn't really a coding problem, where you need to show actual coding.

You use the \icon text macro.

world << "\icon[src] [src] says: Hello."


\icon[src] makes the \icon macro know that the icon will be src's icon.

you change the input for \icon[]

for instance -


\icon['mysexybody.dmi']

that would then display the icon mysexybody.dmi

so basically -

\icon['insert file name here']


look up the DM reference, and look up icon... you might beable to learn some so you can understand better.

No it probably isnt.

And your problem is that you're not defining what the icon is first.
