In the famous words of Ed McMahon (deep voice here..):
  "YOU, are CORRECT sir..."

How to do it:

1) Pick a cursor out of the list below.   Note its number.   For
   example, the "trek" cursor [my favorite], is number 142.

2) Edit the file sys$login:decw$sm_general.dat
   (this file contains "general" session manager settings).

2a)    Find the line that has:  sm.pointer_shape

2b)    Change the VALUE (it's a number) to be the NEGATIVE of the
       number you found in the list.   For example, using the trek
       example, you'd end up with

	sm.pointer_shape:	-142

3) Restart you session session manager.   Voila!  new cursor.

Here's the list.
