Hi, I am currently trying to get control of all eight sprites
for a video game I am writing. I have a custom copper list set up, which
works fine, but when I try to use it to get sprites, I get maybe a
flicker or two, but nothing really interesting. Also, the intuition pointer
will not go away, which seems kind of strange, since every 1/60 of
a second, I change the pointers to all the sprites. I suppose Intuition
is just craftier than I am.

	I would appreciate it if someone could tell me a way to simultaneously
kill off the intuition pointer and get the sprites to appear. I thought
I followed the hardware manual very carefully, but I'm not so sure now.
(I use the hardware manual since the RKM scares me :-)

	thanks in advance,
