Not sure how to do it using wd commands, however you can use api to change mouse pointer under windows.

IDC_WAIT=: 32514

NB. set hourglass
oldcursor=: 0{:: 'user32 SetCursor i i'&cd <IDC_WAIT

NB. restore original cursor
'user32 SetCursor i i'&cd <oldcursor

One of the nice features of J as a development tool has been the automatic switching of mouse cursor to hourglass when processing standalone apps. In J6 this feature is obviously changed the hourglass appears but irregularly and not so logically as it did with J5.

Is there a way to switch the hourglass on/off from the program to keep users aware of the processing. Any other/better ideas to show that the J is processing?
