> The cursor problems have been fixed in R3. For example, the following > command makes the xterm window use the gumby cursor: > > xterm -xrm 'xterm*pointerShape: gumby' Which brings up the next question: where do I find the list of cursor names, and can I use the number of the character in the "cursor" font instead of the text name (e.g., "xterm*pointerShape: 56")? A related question: How do I dump a particular character from a font to a bitmap? Tom Crockett tom@icase.edu

There are a whole slew of bitmap utilities in the pbm package that has been floating around (which will be on the user-contributed section of R3; separate bmtoa and atobm programs will also be located in the bitmap sources).
