Specifically I'd like one that looks like a gun-sight or something

Anything you like... Just build it with ResEdit and install it into
your program. I think there's a size limit (number of pixels) but
that's the only caveat. You just draw it and then pick the 'hot spot'.

No problem!
can you make a cursor as a resource?
Yes. Use Resedit, curs resource, and use the editor which comes up...
(pre-2.0bx, as I've never tried it with 2.0bx)

The Mac can have pretty much as many cursors as you'd like. It supports 5 "standard" cursors: arrow i-beam (used when editing text) cross (for graphics--also shows up in the Control Panel) plus (a bulky cross cursor--for selecting cells in spreadsheets, etc) watch (for waiting) You can create your own cursors for use by an application you've written (As an example). ResEdit lets you graphically create a new cursor or make changes to an existing one... steve -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ whoami?
