I'm beginning work on a system which will need pointers (ie. arrows of
some sort) which can be moved around over an image and left in place.
These pointers are not the same as the cursor (ie. mouse) pointer - the
mouse cursor will be used to drag these pointers around. Anyway, any
suggestions for a neat way to do this before I have to find one myself?
I'll be using the HP widget set most likely.

Many thanks,
