:Matt, I've run into a slight problem with Dmouse's pointer blanker. It
:doesn't blank a 15 color (attached sprite) pointer. This is hardly
:surprising since I had never seen a 15 color animated (yes, ANIMATED!)
:pointer until a couple of weeks ago. 
:
:What happens is the first 3 colors get blanked, but the extra colors are
:still there. This can be a bit distracting when you've got part of an
:erupting volcano or a writhing snake on the screen. :-)
:
:Would it be much trouble to blank another sprite? 

	Real simple.. turn off mouse blanking (-m0).  The mouse stays on
forever.  Apart from that, I'm not going to anything about it because it
would clearly be nothing but a big hack!  And not all that many people would
benefit from it either.  Besides, I'm already going into a system copper
list to do the blanking... the only thing in DMouse I had to cheat to get
working.
