Whats the proper way to show a help field?

Hi William,

Still not well from Cold, but here is
a very simple method:

Create a small field named "cursorpos"

Create an opaque rectangle graphic
and put this script in the graphic:

on mousemove x,y
   set the layer of fld cursorpos to the layer of me + 1
   put x,y into fld cursorpos
   set the topleft of fld cursorpos to x+20,y
end mousemove

on mouseleave
   hide fld cursorpos
end mouseleave

on mouseenter
   show fld cursorpos
end mouseenter

Please, use contrasting colors for the background
of the graphic and the small field.
