 MHIDE()
 Hide the mouse pointer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     MHIDE() --> NIL

 Returns

     MHIDE() always returns NIL.

 Description

     MHIDE() hides the mouse pointer.  This function should be used together
     with MSHOW() when updating the screen.  It is important to hide the
     mouse pointer before changing the screen display and then show it again
     after the change.

     Note:  The MSETCURSOR() function should be used in place of MSHOW()
     and MHIDE().  It is kept here for compatibility.

 Examples

     .  This example uses the mouse pointer:

        MHIDE()
        @ 10, 20 say "Hi there, folks!!!"
        MSHOW()

     .  You can automate calls to MHIDE()/MSHOW() by modifying parts
        of your header files (*.ch).  For example:

        #command @ <row>, <col> SAY <xpr>;[PICTURE <pic>];
           [COLOR <color>];
           => DEVPOS(<row>, <col>);
           DEVOUTPict(<xpr>, <pic> [, <color>])
           // Can be changed to
        #command @ <row>, <col> SAY <xpr>;
           [PICTURE <pic>];

           [COLOR <color>];

           => MHIDE();
           DEVPOS(<row>, <col>);
           DEVOUTPict(<xpr>, <pic> [, <color>]);
           MSHOW()

 Files   Library is LLIBG.LIB, header file is Llibg.ch.
