Comments: This statement will affect the cursor in the current window in which it is executed. The appearance of the cursor will depend on the current Windows™ cursor settings. The changed cursor will only be displayed within the client area of the window. Changing the cursor for a window will change the cursor for its child windows unless the child windows use SetCursor to change their cursor.

Example:

If editFlag EditText;
[
  SetCursor(2);
]

This is a script that might be executed prior to opening an editor window, for which a Text Select style cursor is desired.
