Since there's no way to know how you have configured your CTWM so far,
all I can do is call your attention to the followig sections of the
manual page:
BorderResizeCursors
This variable specifies that ctwm should use resizing cursors
when the pointer is on the window border. To be used preferably
when you have bound a button to f.resize in the frame context.
Cursors { cursor-list }
This variable specifies the glyphs that ctwm should use for var-
ious pointer cursors. Each cursor may be defined either from
the cursor font or from two bitmap files. Shapes from the cur-
sor font may be specified directly as:
cursorname "string"
where cursorname is one of the cursor names listed below, and
string is the name of a glyph as found in the file
/usr/include/X11/cursorfont.h (without the 'XC_' prefix). If
the cursor is to be defined from bitmap files, the following
syntax is used instead:
cursorname "image" "mask"
The image and mask strings specify the names of files containing
the glyph image and mask in bitmap(1x) form. The bitmap files
are located in the same manner as icon bitmap files. The fol-
lowing example shows the default cursor definitions:
Cursors
{
Frame "top_left_arrow"
Title "top_left_arrow"
Icon "top_left_arrow"
IconMgr "top_left_arrow"
Move "fleur"
Resize "fleur"
Menu "sb_left_arrow"
Button "hand2"
Wait "watch"
Select "dot"
Destroy "pirate"
