Dear Windows Gurus,

This seems to be standard, accepted behavior under Windows:

--------------------------------------------------------------
To select a line in a text window:

   Place the pointer just past the left margin of the paragraph
   until it changes to a right-pointing arrow, and then click.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Fair enough, if you happen to want to use this feature.  But
what can you do if you do NOT want to "take advantage" of this
(i.e., if you want your pointer NOT to change into a
right-pointing arrow, presumably because you lean towards the
left -- or whatever)?

Is there any way to prevent Windows from "helping" you?  Can
you specify the equivalent of "thanks, but NO, thanks"?

Is this a hard-wired Windows feature or is there a way to
configure it to suit the user's desires?


Thanks,

   _______________
