There's a couple places you could look. There's an XPM library in the
Archive, if you hunt around you can find some nice open/save icons (I
think they're in the 'file' folder).

For one app, I used the Print Screen key to steal the icons from
Microsoft Wordpad and converted them to XPM files. I can send them to
you or upload them to the Archive if you'd like.
