How can I edit the Mouse Pointer

[Ral-Clan]

Hi, I have found the Mouse Pointer files in the Workbench PREFS directory and would like to create my own mousepointers in DeluxePaint or ImageFX.  But when I try to load the files as ILBMs I get an error message.

What format are these in and is there any way to edit them without using the very cumbersome graphics tools in Workbench/Preferences/Pointers panel?

Yes, but if I already like the normal Amiga pointer, and want to load it into an external graphics program for editing, how can I do that?

Thanks, that copy/paste tip is very helpful.  I always forget that the amiga clipboard is an option (I always save/load).
