The best luck I've had with this is to use BudAPI's baPlaceCursor(x,y)
method to move the cursor to the bottom-right corner of the screen. I
was using the arrow cursor, and because of upper-left direction it
points, the b-r corner provided the best hiding place. You might want to
use a different corner.

This might work well for you, especially since your client wants NO
cursors.

mainMonitor = the desktopRectList[ 1 ]
baPlaceCursor( mainMonitor.right, mainMonitor.bottom )
cursor 200

OTOH, the suggestion about wiping the cursor images is interesting. My
bout with this was pre-imaging lingo, but I'd be interested to hear
about your results. If you try that one, you might want to include an
'emergency' keyDown handler in case you get into the phone-support
situation again. It'd be nice to be able to tell the client "oh, you
can't see the cursor? just press the C key" or whatever.
