+Choose your preferred icon and replace the standard Vim icon with it.
+[This is for the Amiga]
+
+When started from Workbench, Vim opens a window of standard terminal size
+(80 x 25). Trying to change this by adding a tool type results in a window
+that disappears before Vim comes up in its own window.
+If you want Vim to start with another size, it can be done using
+IconX.
+
+Follow these steps:
+
+1. Create a script file called e.g. Vim.WB, with a single line in which the
+ Vim executable is started:
+ Echo "Vim" > Vim.WB
+ Protect Vim.WB +s
+
+2. Rename the Vim icon to Vim.WB.
+
+3. By default, the Vim icon is a program icon.
+ Change the icon type from "program" to "project" using IconEdit from the
+ "Tools" directory.
+
+4. Change the icon settings using "information" from the WorkBench's "icon"
+ menu:
+ - The default program, of course, is "IconX".
+ - A stack size of 4096 should be sufficient.
+ - Create a WINDOW tooltype of the desired size.
+ The appropriate values depend on your WB font.
+
+ Example:
+ On a standard non-interlaced WB screen with full overscan resolution
+ (724 x 283 ), the WINDOW tooltype "CON:30/10/664/273" results in a
+ horizontally centered window with 80 columns and 32 lines.
+
+Now Vim comes up with the new window size.
