The title says it all. I need to know how to use load_icon and load_cursor

Just hit F1 on your compiler and it will bring up the help menu. You can find it in the index most likely. It should list all of the possible aruements you can supply depending on what type of Icon/Cursor you want. Unless you are loading a custom Icon/Cursor you will set the first parameter (HINSTANCE) to NULL.
