  Do you know inefficient it would be if the cursor was a sprite?
Just look at the cursor as it is drawn over a character: You would 
have to do a whole bunch of copying and then de-interlace the
bitplanes before copying the result to a sprite data pointer. Not
worth the trouble (and impractical for hardware sprites).

  QED is a latin acronym for "There it is" or "It is shown".  Maybe
it expands out to "Quotas Epluribus Donum"...
