Thanks again for your help David.

I'll give up on menus, but want to follow up on the cursor. I forgot
to mention that I'm using object graphics, so I guess TVCRS won't
work. Just to be more clear about my goal (in case there is another
way I'm not thinking of), I have a label under my window (sort of like
IMGWIN) that I currently update on mouse motion events in my draw
window. I also capture keyboard events, and depending on the arrow
key pressed can generate a fake mouse motion event (I just add an
offset to the event.x,y). This updates the label fine, but the cursor
doesn't move so my next keyboard event is at the same location.

I guess I could just shut off the cursor when it enters my draw window
(SetCurrentCursor to some invisible cursor) and then make my own
cursor as an overlay and move it around. But this seems like a huge
pain for something as conceptually simple as programmatically nudging
the real cursor. Also, is there any way to figure out what the cursor
is doing (or make it do something) outside of a draw window? For
example, if I wanted to push it from one draw window to another? Then
my kludge above wouldn't seem to work.

Thanks,
Eric
