      Uses the CURSOR_STANDARD keyword of the DEVICE procedure. Although
      this keyword is available in Windows IDL, the values
      used by this procedure are specific to the X windows device.

      If the user supplies a valid cursor shape value, it is set. Otherwise,
      an interactive command loop is entered; it will continue until a valid
      value is given.
