[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Changing the Browse cursor

LZWEIER@csulb.edu (Lou Zweier) (04/18/91)

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to permanently change the browse 
(hand) cursor in hypercard to another shape (like the arrow).  I know 
about "Set Cursor to", but that only changes the cursor for the period that 
a handler is running.

I know that to change the browse cursor shape represents a departure from 
the standard user interface for hypercard, but I have a faculty member 
here who says he has observed to many beginners make clicking mistakes 
with the hand cursor and that he arrow pointer is used more reliably.

He also wanted to change the browse tool to a "?" shape for the help feature 
of his stack... including pulldown menus.

He has been unsuccessfull trying to use Resedit to change the browse 
cursor.
