Implement PGDTGetIcon call

I am trying to call the Desktop Manager function PBDTGetIcon whose synopsis (from IM More Toolbox) is

FUNCTION PBDTGetIcon(paramBlock: DTPBPtr; asynch: Boolean): OSErr

1. Nothing should be pushed onto nor pulled off of the stack. This looks like a register-based routine which expects the block pointer to be in A0 and the selector in D0. Finally, it returns the result into D0.

2. You have to call one of two different traps, depending on whether the async parameter is set or not. You should use $A660 if async is true, or $A260 if it's false

3. The selector is #$0023, not #$0020.

Try this:

LOCAL FN PBDTGetIcon(@DTPBlock&, asynch%)
  DIM osErr%
  LONG IF asynch%
    `  MOVE.L    ^DTPBlock&,A0
    `  MOVE.W    #$0023,D0
    `  DC.W      $A660
    `  MOVE.W    D0,^osErr%
  XELSE
    `  MOVE.L    ^DTPBlock&,A0
    `  MOVE.W    #$0023,D0
    `  DC.W      $A260
    `  MOVE.W    D0,^osErr%
  END IF
END FN = osErr%

I call it with

  DEF BLOCKFILL(@DTPBRec, _DTPBRecSize, 0)
  DTPBRec.DTPBioDTBuffer& = @DTPBioDTBuffer
  DTPBRec.DTPBioDTReqCount% = _kLarge8BitIconSize
  DTPBRec.DTPBioIconType% = _kLarge8BitIcon
  DTPBRec.DTPBioFileType& = _"APPL"

  OSErr = FN PBDTGetIcon(DTPBRec, _false)

where DTPBRec and DTPBioDTBuffer are defined with

  DIM DTPBRec.DTPBRecSize, DTPBioDTBuffer.kLarge8BitIconSize

using the following record and constant definitions...
