Hi Doug; Well those solutions sound really atractive and I would say if you
won't go crazy trying  it then go for it.
If you could have it switchable so that vocaleyes could run the way it is now or
have an independent review cursor, that would be nice.
If you had it also able to let the keyboard remain usable as an option while in
review mode that would be nice as well. It certainly would be in keeping  with
what seems to be your desire to make your program as configurable as possible.
Great work Doug and thanks for listening too all of us and taking our
suggestions seriously.
Take care.
