It's a lot easier than that :)

userlib needed is

.lib "user32.dll"
LoadCursor%( ID, Cursor ):"LoadCursorA"
SetCursor%( ID ):"SetCursor"

You can also use these for the different cursors

; Mouse Pointers
Const IDC_ARROW			= 32512
Const IDC_IBEAM			= 32513
Const IDC_WAIT			= 32514
Const IDC_CROSS 		= 32515 
Const IDC_UPARROW 		= 32516
Const IDC_SIZENWSE 		= 32642
Const IDC_SIZENESW 		= 32643
Const IDC_SIZEWE 		= 32644 
Const IDC_SIZENS 		= 32645 
Const IDC_SIZEALL 		= 32646 
Const IDC_NO 			= 32648 
Const IDC_HAND 			= 32649
Const IDC_APPSTARTING 	= 32650
Const IDC_HELP 			= 32651
Const IDC_ICON 			= 32641
Const IDC_SIZE 			= 32640

And then you just use

cursor = loadcursor(0,cursor_constant)

And setting the cursor is as simple as

setcursor cursor

If you don't use setcursor in a loop then Blitz automatically resets the cursor to the default arrow.
