They have to do with the new "cursor is a sprite" facility, i.e. instead of the old box (which is achieved by XORing part of the screen with the colour red) one can use a sprite (of a certain size) which can look like anything you want. My cursor is a sort of gold and halve-transparent, for example. The main reason for this feature was that XORing a red cursor into a gray background looks more than just ugly. This was BTW the first SMSQ/E feature request I had which I didn't have to do myself! Wolfgang wrote the code. > CURSPRON job > CURSPROFF job The new cursor can be enabled and disabled on a per-job basis. The default value can be configured. These commands are used to selectively enable or disable the sprite cursor of a certain job. This was my request because I originally wanted to preserve the long-known red SBasic cursor and still have my stylish new cursor in PE applications. As it turned out, I just use the new cursor nowadays. > CURSPRLOAD file Given the filename of a sprite this routine sets a new system cursor. The sprite must be of the dimension 6x10, I think, otherwise it won't be used. > SYSSPRLOAD number,file This is a more generic version of CURSPRLOAD. It can be used to set any of the system sprites (e.g. you can exchange the default arrow pointer with "SYSSPRLOAD 0,win1_newarrow_spr"). So CURSPRLOAD is really just a shortcut for "SYSSPRLOAD 36,file", because 36 is the system sprite number for the cursor.
