Thanks for the suggestion but it's a bit drastic as I don't have
Linux as yet and wouldn't consider getting it just to paint a few
cursors ;)!
I'm sure I will look at Linux (having been a Unix person since 1980
and having an old MachTen Unix for my Mac), but it isn't a business
priority at present and I can't afford the 'playing time'.
Seriously, couldn't I even create a cursor graphic in MC 2.3 and then
copy & paste it into a stack in MC 2.2.5?
