I agree with your wishes, I would add to our combined grid wishlist column mouse properties, so that we wouldn't need API calls for different cursors.

As to PB, we see the squawking here about vfp bugs, wishlists, etc, recently my agency (which uses PB widely) put together a gripe list for PB. There were all sorts of complaints and whines, it was amusing to read. It is clear you cannot make developers happy no matter what company and product :)
