- ShowCursor won't actually show the cursor if it's only obscured. I don't
- think there's a legal way to unobscure a cursor, however, setting the low-
- memory global CrsrNew = 0xFF forces it to really redraw. (CrsrNew is 0x8CE
- and is a 1-byte value).

- How abotu just calling InitCursor?
-
- It sets the cursor to an arrow, and shows it (and clears
- the show/hide count) and then you can call SetCursor to
- set it to the shape you want.
