Uh, I'm not sure you are understanding all the possible
implications of switching to an object graphics draw widget.
In particular, *everything* about your current program will
change. :-)

But, you can change the cursor shape in direct graphics windows, too.
Check out the CURSOR_IMAGE, CURSOR_STANDARD, and CURSOR_ORIGINAL
keywords to the DEVICE command. You are limited only by your
imagination.

Cheers,

David
