I know once I get the answer to this it will be a dud moment for me.

We have upgraded some PCs to the latest Toad but now when I try to Execute a procedure in a sql editor like  
Execute schemaname.packagename.procedurename (null, 15814, null, null, null, ‘pluim’, :outcur)

The :outcur use to cause a popup and allow me to pick CURSOR as a type in the Variable window but now Cursor in not the the drop down list.

Any idea how to get the option back.  
Thanks
