I would have thought so, but I didn't want people
to get the idea that you couldn't do exciting
things with direct graphics. :-)

Hi David, thanks for the tip.
I had pretty much lost hope that on that, figuring it wasn't
possible. The code is pretty large at this point, and I'd hate to
revamp it for this relatively minor feature.
Aww shucks, Russell

I am unaware of any method to programmaticaly move the cursor
in object graphics.
But, I guess the good news is that moving, scaling, rotating,
and deleting ROIs can also be done in direct graphics, as
an application like AnnotateWindow demonstrates:
