Hello,
Earlier today I was trying to figure out how to manipulate the mouse by sending messages to ActiveHand. I tried using HandMorph>>position: (did I write that correctly?), but it did nothing. What I evaluated in a workspace was "ActiveHand position: (40@35)" (and a few variants on that to be sure I got the syntax right). If it helps anyone give advice, what I'm try ing to do is create a class to give the mouse inertia.
Thanks, Aidan

Morphic supports multiple hands. You should not manipulate the user's hand but a secondary one. See for example HandMorphForReplay. - Bert -
Actually, now that I think about it a bit more, this sort of thing might not be a good idea to do in Squeak, since it would be hard to control the environment while the mouse is being controlled by a buggy process.
But what CAN I do to the mouse? Could I make it temporarily invisible in, for example, a large game where the mouse would just get in the way? Can I change its appearance on the screen? I can't seem find out much using the browser.

Take a look at Cursor class. It controls the appearance of the cursor. You could also look at the senders of showWhile: for examples on how to change cursors for a short while.
