I'm using version 1.1.1, downloaded yesterday.

Darn, I thought that's what I had.  I have such a hard time figuring out all
the different version numbering schemes.  I finally figured out that the
version at ftp://err.ethz.ch//pub/neeri/MacPerl/, while actually called
MacPerl_21May98, is indeed version 5.2.1a1.

But I'm still getting the same cursor errors, even with the latest MacPerl and
QD modules.
