  There is a chapter in the Programmer's Guide (Chapter 8 for 5.0) which has a 
section
called "Creating Bitmaps for TME 10 NetView Symbils". This describes how the 
bitmap and
mask are used.  You use a utility imaginatively called "bitmap".  You need to 
create
bitmaps in different sizes. I have found it easier to copy the bitmaps and 
adjust the
size, and then tidy them up.

The example for using bitmap is : bitmap mb.32.p 32x32

To edit an existing bitmap you do not specify the size.
