Can't you simply SetPointer() the cursor to be something which is all
color 0 (i.e., transparent)?   Alternatively, (and I've never tried this)
couldn't you SetPointer() a 0 sized sprite image?

	like: SetPointer(window, junkptr(?), 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L);
                                             ^   ^
                                             |   |
		           i.e., nothing ----+---+

Natch, the other restoring call is ClearPointer(window).
