That's what I did initially. I "solved" my problems by simply reading in
the B&W cursors instead. I think there's more to it than that. I sent an
earlier response that quoted from the THINK reference... I think that's
what I'm running into but I don't know for sure. I think it's SetCCursor
that's trying to compensate for variable screen depths that's the problem
and I don't know how to do what it says to do in FBII.
