How will you display your menu? Maybe on a different canvas??? Once you work that out, the cursor placement won't be a big problem. But to answer your question, in your When-New-Form-Instance trigger, put a Go_Item to any item you want. If you make the item height=0 or width=0, then the cursor will not be displayed.
