Hi Piotr,

Oops, sorry about that. The version I have is as follows:
global procedure HRMouse_pointer(integer sm)
--turn pointer on/off (1/0)
if sm=0 then
if db_on>-1 then
remove_db()
end if
dbstart[1]=0
display_image(oldmouse,scrblk)
elsif show_mouse=0 then
scrblk=save_image(oldmouse,oldmouse+15)
display_image(oldmouse,scrblk*bitmask+pointer)
end if
show_mouse=sm
end procedure
I must have fixed that one and forgot to post an update
(My memory's not much chop).
I added the drag-box support after writing the pointer on/off
routine and forgot to add a check to see if a drag box was
active before trying to turn it off.
HRM was the first program I wrote in EU and despite finishing
it only 7 months ago (re-checks date stamp and shakes head in
dis-belief) it seems more like 7 years.
BTW have you tried passing bitmap sequences to HRM to change
the pointer on the fly?
