HI, does anyone know if it's possible to enlarge the mouse pointer (the
arrow that floats around the screen when you move the mouse)? We are
thinking of having a public access hypercard/macromind based tutorial on
library use and was thinking of people with vision problems and little kids.
Any thoughts on this?

WARNING: I tried that fkey for the heck of it, and it does make a cute, very large cursor, but it won't make the HyperCard hand cursor large, it doesn't work in color (you get those 8 little images; ever seen 'em?) and it crashes under b&w. I wouldn't recommend using it. Prodigy's Mac software makes a *huge* and **gaudy** cursor - ask them :) Nate. -- Nathan Gasser gasser@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
