+PIXMAP should be a string, the name of a file of pixmap data.
+The directories listed in the `x-bitmap-file-path' variable are searched.
+Any kind of image file for which XEmacs has builtin support can be used.
+
+Alternatively, PIXMAP may be a list of the form (WIDTH HEIGHT
+DATA) where WIDTH and HEIGHT are the size in pixels, and DATA is
+a string, containing the raw bits of the bitmap.  XBM data is
+expected in this case, other types of image data will not work.
