    Well I didn't know what I was doing the first time I read the man 
page. Then the second time I knew I was interested in an option and then 
the man page made a lot more sense.

    By the way "SWCursor"     "on" is another way to do the same thing 
it appears. I will try first just the first one  "HWCursor"   "false" 
but keep the other if needed. And yes 1 or 0 can be used if you can 
remember which is which :-)
