I came across another solution to this problem (below in the old email), so I thought I would pass it on. This may seem simple, but it is all new to me.
Instead of making the entire image the anchor for the url for the next image, use the map option in html to make only a small area of the image work as the link to the next image. That way, the cursor retains its normal, arrow appearance over most of the image. For example, 5.html could contain this: <body> <IMG SRC="image5.jpg" WIDTH=1000 HEIGHT=750 BORDER=0 USEMAP="#map"> <MAP NAME="map"> <AREA SHAPE="CIRCLE" COORDS="359,384,104" HREF="6.html"> </MAP> </body> This is easily done with gimp (filter/web/imagemap), although, this will have to be automated with a sed script for stringing together numerous images for a slide show.
