I'm writing a program where I simultaneously display multiple images
of the same object in separate windows. The images are from different
imaging modalities, and they are properly aligned with each other. My
problem is this; when the cursor is in one of windows, I'd like to
display the cursor symbol (+) at the same position in all the windows,
and I'd like the multiple cursor symbols to move smoothly together
when I move the mouse. Has anybody done this, or have any suggestions?

I'm assuming you have the images being displayed on bitmaps and copied to
the draw widgets from their respective bitmaps (if not, I'd recommend it).
Set /Motion_Events for Widget_Draw on both displays. When events are
generated in the display window you'll know the location of the cursor.
Using the Device, Copy=[Xs, Ys, Nx, Ny, Xd, Yd, W] command, you can pick up
a chunk of the image from the bitmap, superimpose a cross-hair on it and
draw the modified chunk on the draw widget. You'll have to keep track of
the previous location of the cursor so you can remove the crosshair from it
as you move along the image.
That's an idea, anyway. Send private email if you'd like more details.
