TkLua_03 - Display of predefined Mouse Pointers
"TkLua_03" allows to examine the various mouse pointers provided by Tk. While
these pointers cannot be shown directly, the program provides a list of areas
within which the mouse pointer will change its shape as indicated by the
associated label.
"TkLua_03" should be invoked without any command line arguments
lua TkLua_03.lua
and presents itself as follows:

Nota bene: the individual mouse pointers will not become visible before you
position the mouse within one of the rectangular regions in the program's
application window.
