I frequently do rtf files on AbiWord.  I have never
had a problem.  Perhaps MicroSoft has introduced
"special" features into Windows RTF, thereby causing 
problems on non-Windows systems?

AFAIK those programs have their own cursor(s).  Note
how the Opera cursor changes from arrow to finger to
line, depending on what sort of field it is over.

Cheers,
