In my recent piece about separate windows,
I suggested that each cursor you create in your preset
cursor list may have its own optional homecell.
If you want a slice to have its own cursor, I think
the best way is to preset the home cell of a particular
cursor on that slice. Then firing up that cursor/window
should bring in the slice.
Best, Ted
