- I need to change my cursor to an hourglass or something during
- an operation that takes a long time. The "options" manual page
- says that I can use any of the forms acceptable to TkGetCursor.
- The "GetCursor" manual page says that I can use any X identifier
- for a cursor.
-
- How can I find out what are the possible X identifiers I can use
- for setting a cursor in wish?
-
- Of course I'm ignorant about how to find this stuff in X, and not
- wanting to know *too* much about X Windows is one of my main reasons
- for using tk! I have the same problem-- not knowing where to find
- lists of X definitions-- in looking for possible key bindings, as well.
