Dear Paul:

It would still be easier programmatically to change the cursor properties in the SCT file directly as it occupies a line to itself. Taking a quick peek at the file it looks like I could change the length of the text lines without damaging the integrity of the files, but then this is something I haven't tried. Do you think it is safe to change the SCT file programmatically if it is opened as a low-level file?
