I visited the STAZ web site yesterday and found that there is a new version
of the STAZ Extras file available for download so I downloaded it and put
it in the  STAZ folder inside my FutureBasic folder and then brought FBII
up. The cursor was acting funny along the left edge of the edit window
where it usually turns into a right pointing arrow that will highlight the
whole line if clicked. It looked like it was trying to change but was
immediately being changed back into a left pointing arrow. Clicking the
mouse still highlighted the whole line.

I then ran my program from within FB and again the cursor was doing funny
things. When FB changed it during the compile process it looked like
something was trying to change it back and when my program was running the
same thing appeared to happen when I changed the cursor under program
control.

After some detective work I determined that it was the new STAZ Extras that
made this happen. Rebooting with extensions off didn't change anything -
the only thing that corrected this strange cursor behavior was to revert
the STAZ Extras file.

I'm hoping David Blache or someone else at STAZ Software can comment on
this and to let everyone know what may be the cause of similar behavior on
your machines.

I'm running OS 8.
