nstead of chasing windmills, you should have read more carefully the answer=
s to your question:
- The track to the solution was proposed by DavidT l=
ess than 6 hours after your first post (01-17-2005);
- an effective solu=
tion was given by Ben within 8 hours;
- I gave the explanation of your s=
upposed "bug" in 13 hours;
That's quite far from a week and your quoted =
statement seems to be unrealistic.

About the two other supposed bugs=
, now :
- your "phantom" cursors appear normally on the cursor legend. T=
hey cannot be dragged because you didn't allow it (click on the lock in the=
cursor legend and select "allow drag"). You can suppress any cursor as any=
element of an array, either directly (right click on the cursor name in th=
e legend, then select "Data operation>delete element") or programmatically =
using a property node. I don't see any bug here, but may be I missed someth=
ing ?..
- the cursor visible property seems to work flawlessly on my mac=
hines. Apparently no bug again...

See the attached vi where these ba=
sic cursor manipulation operation are illustrated.
