That's a bug, which I would imagine would be fixed before 2.5 is 
released.  Removing the hand cursor completely would be a horrifyingly 
bad decision if it were intentional, as it would completely eliminate 
the sort of browser-like hand-cursor-over-clickable-text features so 
easy to do in all previous releases for more than a decade.

I'm not sure why the hand cursor was accidentally removed from the 
current beta, but I'm confident the smart folks at RunRev will restore 
it before shipping.


Just as basic and essential but much harder to fix is to allow the 
answer file command to work reliably on OS X.  Given the OS's 
schizophrenic relationship with the Classic Finder fileType info, the 
current engine has an answer file syntax for Mac that often makes many 
valid files unselectable by the user.

This is documented, with a recommended fix -- if you're in a voting mood 
it's at:
