Hi,

I just set up my debugging monitor, which happens to be a Herc. clone.
My main monitor is a Paradise, running in 800x600. I have good and bad
news. The good news is that the Herc/VGA combination works. The
*great* news is that if you pop up a dos window, and do a 

mode mono

The display switches to the monochrome monitor. The VGA still has a
small window representing the dos window, but you can size it and make
it small.  

This is a boon to me because I use the SDK, and, of course
compilaation etc are dos tasks, so they can be switched to the dos
screen. I've run a whole bunch of dos tasks on the mono screen, and
they all work just fine.

My problem and the bad news is that I loose the cursor on the mono
screen. It sits resolutely in the little window on the VGA screen.
I've played around with lots of settings in the 386 enhanced options,
but I can't get the cursor to display properly on the Mono monitor
except when the dos application is in full screen mode, which makes it
eat up the whole vga screen also.

It is a *little* hard to edit without a cursor... If there is anyone
who knows how to get the cursor back, I'd be really grateful.
