The pointer files in the current directory

The directories on the current drive

The stock pointers defined in the application

TIP:   To display the pointer files in another directory, select a directory from the list or enter the name of the directory in the Directory Name box.  A list of pointer files in the selected directory displays.

3. Select a file from the list or enter the name of the file (including the extension .CUR) that contains the pointer in the Pointer Name box.
