Set the current mouse pointer shape.

set_mshape sets the shape of the mouse pointer for the window. A list of the names of all available mouse pointer shapes can be obtained by calling query_mshape. The mouse pointer shape given by Cursor is used if the mouse pointer enters the window, irrespective of which window is the output window at present.

set_mshape returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if the mouse pointer shape Cursor is defined for this window. Otherwise, an exception handling is raised.

set_mshape is reentrant, local, and processed without parallelization.
