   Does anyone know how to put a cursor in a GEM window?  I finally figured
out a bunch of fun text-to-GEM-window routines, just pass in the window
handle, an x and y, and a string, it'll stick it to the window (or at least
in the clipping region)...

   But!!!  I need to build a really simple text editor really really really
quickly and am having trouble doing a cursor.  there's no good way to save
what's underneath a character (i mean, a good fast way w/o resorting to
assembler, and i don't know assembler on an ST too well) so i need help in
a big way.

   Thanx in advance.
