    string theReport = "The InkCollector has encountered the following cursors so far:" + Environment.NewLine;
    // Get the Cursors collection from the InkCollector
    Microsoft.Ink.Cursors theCursors = theInkCollector.Cursors;
    // Prevent changes to the collection while we iterate over it.
    lock( theCursors.SyncRoot )
    {
        theReport += "Count of cursors: " + theCursors.Count + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine ;
        foreach (Microsoft.Ink.Cursor cursor in theCursors)
