SETPTR.CMD
/* SetPtr.CMD -- set/remove a custom mouse pointer.
Copyright 11 January 1994 by Jack Tan
This is based on Dann Lunsford's SETMOUSE.CMD
SETMOUSE.CMD by Dann Lunsford
Short procedure to set mouse pointer to contents of specified .PTR file

would leave this notice in... Author: Dann Lunsford

Be careful about adding/removing lines to this script -- it uses the
SOURCELINE function, which is source-dependent.
Syntax: SetPtr.CMD <filename> [pointer index] [/X] [/L] [/?]
<filename> is the name of the file containing the pointer.
If <filename> does not exist, <filename>.PTR is searched.
[pointer index] is an optional parameter. It defaults to 1.
Index Pointer Default OS/2 icon
------------------------------------------------------------------
1 normal OS/2 pointer arrow
2 text insertion I-beam
3 wait cursor clock
4 size pointer (no icon)
5 move pointer four-way arrow
6 resize (NW to SE) diagonal double arrow (\)
7 resize (NE to SW) diagonal double arrow (/)
8 resize (horizontal) horizontal double arrow (-)
9 resize (vertical) vertical double arrow (|)
/X (optional) indicates that the custom pointer should be removed.
/L (optional) lists currently installed pointers.
/? (optional) displays this help. */
