The syntax to serve the icons that are built into the Newton's ROM
(version 2.1) is

        /gif/magic/@xxx

where the xxx is a number.

A complete list of the images is available for download at Prism
Research:

As Paul noted, you will not be able to serve all the built-in images;
trial and error seems to be the best bet.

The html on the Note that you are serving with an image would look
something like this:

        <img src="/gif/magic/@761">

An example can be seen on my NPDS server:
