Can do, but mind you this is is still subject to change. BTW - have you had any more thoughts on a runtime QPC2?? No, sorry. In fact I completely forgot about it. Too much other stuff going on right now, but I'll add it to my to-do queue. Marcel

OK, I have tried to create a null pointer.

I cannot simply replace the existing pointer definition as this will cock things up on the Aurora..

Two pointers?! I couldnt properly run the code, so I cant really say. However perhaps this null sprite definition may work better: rem Set up Null pointer restore BlankPtrAdd = alchp(32) for i = 0 TO 30 step 2: read word: poke_w BlankPtrAdd + i, word : data $0100, $ :rem .w form, time/adaption data $0001, $0001 :rem .w x size, y size data $, $ :rem .w x origin, y origin data 0, $000C:rem .l pointer to colour pattern data 0, $0008:rem .l pointer to pattern mask data 0, $:rem .l pointer to next definition : data $, $ :rem .w colour pattern data $, $ :rem .w pattern mask You shouldnt need to use REMPT before using this sprite. In an SBasic with the standard windows try: outl#0: cls rem Set up Null pointer here, as above sprs#1; BlankPtrAdd x% = -1: y% = -1: tv% = 13 rep rdpt#1; tv%, x%, y% print#0; tv%, x%, y% endrep Per

What is the best way of setting the mouse pointer to a blank pointer, so nothing appears on screen when the mouse is moved about. I have tried REMPT from EasyPTR, but this does not appear to work that well - when you use RDPT to read the mouse position, you get flickering of the standard WMAN mouse pointer... -- Rich Mellor RWAP Software 35 Chantry Croft, Kinsley, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF9 5JH TEL: 01977 610509 http://hometown.aol.co.uk/rwapsoftware

Depending on the effect you wish to achieve, you could try fiddling with the termination vector. Try tv% = %10110100 as in 100 OUTL#0 110 tv% = %10110100 120 x% = 0: y% = 0: sw% =-1 130 REPeat 140 RPTR#0; x%, y%, tv%, sw%, xr%, yr%, t$ 145 PRINT#0; x%, y%, tv%, sw%, xr%, yr%, t$ 160 END REPeat (Tested with Smsq/e 2.93 and 2f99) When bit #7 is set in the termination vector a window request is initiated - same as when you do a Move - so the sprite is active across all windows. Terminate the operation with a HIT or a DO. If you just wanted something local, you could try designing a null sprite instead, but I havent tried this. Per
