Nice bit of useful code!
You can still move the seperator without !MOUSE ON 132, but it's much more like you normally get with Windows with the double headed arrow hovering above the seperator.
It could be useful to know more !MOUSE cursor types.
It could be useful to know more !MOUSE cursor types.
If you use !MOUSE ON you can of course look up the choices in the BBC BASIC documentation. What I was suggesting is that I could extend the native LBB CURSOR statement to support a wider range of pointer types.
I'm thinking that the simplest option would be to use exactly the same approach as LB adopts with the RULE command: i.e. allowing you to use either preset names or Windows constants. This would allow you to do:

Thank you, I've looked up in the BBC documentation and the MOUSE types and number references are all clearly identified (as expected).
I very rarely use LB these days. I only use it if there is a need to check out something in LB. I more often than not use LBB. The reason being that it does things properly rather than some of the weird ways of LB. So, I think I'll just stick to the !MOUSE format.
I recently converted a program I had written in QB64 into LB/LBB. I was surprised how easy it was. All I had to change was Labels (label: to [label]) and Using (using "##.##"; var to using ("##.##",var).
I know the program was simple, but the effort was worth it. I didn't get LB to write console programs, but it does show how the MainWin can be used for other purposes than debugging.
