Les, yes there are some things you should check.
If you have artic 3.03 loaded and no old artic files around,
put /m3 on your bvision command line.
It should read like this: bvision /m3
This option is called an option but it is really needed by many machines
especially when large programs like word perfect or lotus are loaded.
The other thing which may be confusing is that now you have two cursors
on the screen.  Now that there is no scroll lock review mode in artic,
the artic cursor is always there where ever you last put it or at the
top of your screen in some cases when not used. Of course you can always
have it follow the application cursor.
What ever the case, the artic cursor is a white square which really
shows up and as it travels along, it could confuse some one who does not
know what is going on.
On my screen I am told that the artic cursor blinks once every three or
four seconds.  The application cursor is always blinking where ever it
is.
Yesterday evening I tried word perfect print shift 7 then option 6
within that and option 2 to magnify characters within that.  It looked
fine to friends who were here.  We also tried some telix menues etc.
I would like to know if you still have the problem you mentioned and
which software package is giving you the problem.
