Displays a cursor hidden by the HideCursor or ShieldCursor functions.

void ShowCursor ();

DISCUSSION

ShowCursor increments the cursor level, which has been decremented by the HideCursor or ShieldCursor function and displays the cursor on the screen when the level is 0. A call to the ShowCursor function balances each previous call to the HideCursor or ShieldCursor function. The level is not incremented beyond 0, so extra calls to ShowCursor have no effect.

Low-level interrupt-driven functions link the cursor with the mouse position, so that if the cursor level is 0 and visible, the cursor automatically follows the mouse.

If the cursor has been changed with the SetCursor function while hidden, ShowCursor displays the new cursor.
