[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Help changing cursor

bobg+@andrew.cmu.edu (Robert Steven Glickstein) (05/25/88)

I am just getting into this HyperTalk script-writing business, so forgive me if
the answer to the following question is obvious.  It isn't to me.

I am writing a stack with a sort of toolbox in it.  When a user clicks on an
icon in the toolbox, the cursor should change to that icon.  I have all the
necessary CURS resources defined in this stack, and all the buttons in my
toolbox have scripts saying "set the cursor to 21768" or some such.  The
problem is that HyperCard (in the idle handler?) resets the cursor to the
browsing tool almost immediately.  How do I keep this from happening; and how
do I ensure that it will start happening again when I want it to?

Thanks in advance,
