I didn't mean a cursor being controlled by a remote.  That would be a HUGE
headache and a major step backwards in functionality.  I was thinking more
along the lines of the remote D-Pad controlling a "box" on the screen.  You
hit up, the box moves up to the selection above it's current position.  I
was thinking that the cursor would not be on the screen at all.
