I've been exposed to those Win3 programs that allow the user to change the
system cursor to something other than the vanilla arrow/hourglass, and am
posessed by the desire to create one for PM.

I've created a skeleton app that uses WinLoadCursor() and WinSetCursor()
to provide a custom "finger" pointer *in my app's client window*.  While this 
is great fun, what I *really* want is to be able to alter the default system 
arrow/hourglass for *all* PM apps.

Is this possible?  Am I on the right track? 

Any help/pointers/reality lessons encouraged/appreciated.
