Is there anyway in the Andrew Toolkit for an view object to track the pointers movements when entering and leaving its view rectangle. I would like the object to update the screen when the mouse enters. Is there any hope? Do view_handlers have anything to do with it?

It could theoretically be added but it would only work for X and we would like to be consistent across different window managers. Gary Keim ATK Group

I know that one of the aims of the whole Andrew/BE2/ATK idea was to be window-system independent, but in reality is there an implementation for any systems other than X and the increasingly more defunct "wm"? --

There is currently a port going for OS/2 PresentationManager. Don't know of it's status.

Supported implementation? No. Halfway functional? Yes, sort of. People have played with putting ATK on NextStep and on OS/2 PM. Here at Bellcore, we're playing (part time) with getting it to run on the MGR window system, which is still widely used at Bellcore. So the answer is, average mortals can't use ATK on anything but X, but occasional people can do so, and the ability to port it to future window systems still looks like an advantage to those of us who retain reservations about X11.
