   Changing the mouse cursor color on a color screen works for me.
   However, you do have to move the mouse out of the window and back to
   get the change to take effect (due to a bug in the R4 sample server).

Thank you, Stephen!
Yes, it works on color screen once you reenter your window.

But the b&w does not work.
Now, this is really what I would like the fix for:
I (and many others !) have only  b&w screens  AND prefer to have black
background, white foreground.
For us, it would be much better to have a  white mouse pointer instead of
the black (with white outline) that is only visible if you move it fast enough.
