Oops!  Sent my message before I finished it.  I was interrupted while saying
I thought tutor messages could be turned off for any application through the
verbosity options menu.  It doesn't seem to work that way but what do I
know?

I also realise I may have seen the behavior of the cursor getting stuck in
Outlook Express before with WindowEyes.

Pardon me for quoting the whole message below but I want to keep it
streight.
Thanks for your comments, Jim.
