You pass it the win32lib handle of the icon object.  For example, if you
have an icon that you created thus:

atom myIcon
myIcon = create(Icon,"",myWindow, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

then you would need:

atom hIcon
hIcon = getHandle(myIcon)

A TCHAR is a character array, which translates to Euphoria as a null-
terminated string.  Since szTip occurs as the last member of the
NOTIFYICONDATA structure, as long as you've null-terminated it, it can be
shorter than the 64 bytes.
