>Is there a way to change the shape of the cursor from a straight line? I know in Foxbase you could change the shape to a rectangle with the use of the SYS(2002,1) I think and I know that is frowned upon using Windows, but for certain data entry situations it would be very useful to have a wider cursor. If someone knows of a way to do this, I would appreciate some advice.
