SUMMARY
In Macintosh QuickBASIC Version 1.00, the mouse pointer will disappear after the execution of an INPUT or LINE INPUT statement. As soon as the mouse is moved, the mouse cursor will reappear on the screen.

This behavior also occurs in the Macintosh BASIC Interpreter Versions 2.00, 2.10, and 3.00, and the Macintosh BASIC Compiler Version 1.00.

Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information as it becomes available.

The following is a sample program that demonstrates this behavior: INPUT; &quot;Enter a character&quot;; var$  'Mouse will disappear LOCATE 2,1 PRINT &quot;The character you entered was a: &quot;;var$ WHILE MOUSE(0) = 0:WEND           'Click mouse to end
