change cursor dynamically

[Gordon Farmer]

Hi,

I can change the cursor pointer by going to System > Preferences > Mouse > Pointers
and the cursor will change to my choice. This graphical way of changing the cursor pointer
makes it easier than the manual way on the command line. But I need to know the manual
way it can be done using the command line, so I can make a script to change the cursor dynamically from my script.

All help appreciated.
