The idea is that it will be an automated presentation. I
have used the drawing tools to assemble an arrow that
looks like the standard pointer, but I had been hoping to
find an arrow ready-made. I can create a good arrow with
a bitmap, but I can't figure out how to make the
background transparent. A bitmap needs to be a rectangle,
I guess.
