Yes, that works but the hint is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of
the screen.  I want the hints right under the icon.  The only thing that
seems to work is to have the comand number in a menu item, e.g.L

  MENUITEM "Close File", CM_FILECLOSE

In this case the hint "Close File" appears right below the icon that has the
ID: CM_FILECLOSE.  Whatever you put in the STRINGTABLE shows up in the
status bar.
