Hmm, thanks. One small question though: what should I do in order to
make a window's cursor invisible?
I want to detect if PT is before window start, and in that case refrain
from displaying the phys cursor. Right now, I test for that condition
in redisplay_window, and the test seems to work, but I have no idea how
to mark the window's cursor as invisible, so to speak.
Or perhaps this is an X/Y question, but I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance.
