Tkinter & misc. question (follow-up)

[Eric Brunel]

Hi,

At first, a reference that always proves useful: the online manual for Tk
commands:
http://dev.scriptics.com/man/tcl8.2.3/TkCmd/contents.htm
where you find (following "options", "-cursor", then "Tk_GetCursor":
http://dev.scriptics.com/man/tcl8.2.3/TkLib/GetCursor.htm#M7
where you see that the "cursor" option may be typed as "@sourceName maskName
fgColor bgColor" or "@sourceName fgColor" (sourceName and maskName are names
of XBM files), but that "This form of the command will not work on Macintosh
or Windows computers." Sorry...
Maybe there's a portable way to do the same thing, but I don't know it...
