Hi. Raymond. Ditto on Don's response. Perhaps it would help to route all
your cursors to the same location if possible, with the probable exception
of the PC Cursor if it can't go to the location of your starting point. this
would all be after calling SaveCursor () and before calling RestoreCursor
().

it be evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
