ProtoPrefsRollItem Undocumented Slots (2/6/96)

Q: When I try to open my own system preference, I get a -48204 error. The preference registers OK with the RegPrefs function.

A: The documentation on protoPrefsRollItem is incomplete. You must define an overview slot which is the text to show in the overview mode. You can optionally define an icon slot which is an icon for the title in the non-overview mode (a title icon). Note that title icons are much smaller than normal icons.
