No. Turing does not have access to an API with which to this. You could in theory do it, but it's extremely involved and not altogether worth it in the end.

Turing is supposed to have this ability, though. It hasn't worked for a while... I think 3.11 worked. All I know is that I once wrote a program which among other things, hid the mouse cursor and drew a Christmas tree in it's place. But yeah, I wouldn't count on it working.

I remember the old dos version of turing let you hide the mouse. You could possible try that. Im sure your school might still have a copy. My school still does on our old IBM PCs. Be warned dos graphics arnt always the best :lol:

i thoght the newest version actually had a command for that, althogh it's not in the list of commands.  I think its something like:

View.Set ("nomouse")

or something along those lines... my teacher discovered it by playing around.

but it hides the mouse on the whole computer so you have to have another way to exit the program just incase
