>I've got a long procedure that runs in the background in which I watch for keypresses. I don't want to show the mouse cursor because mouse clicks don't work. I tried setting mousepointer to 13(none) for all of my objects but as soon as the procedure is launched and you bump the mouse, the hourglass pops to the front.

You might need to fiddle with it, but I you can do something like

THISFORM.SetAll( "MousePointer", 11 ) && Hourglass icon
* Run your process
THISFORM.SetAll( "MousePointer", 0 ) && Default icon
