Thanks. I needed the actual HC cursor, but I found that Stephen Goldberg 
had it in the cursor set he released a few weeks ago. However, I found 
later that I also needed to adjust some other cursors that were in the 
HC stack I'm converting. I have figured out how to do it now.

Not only is the engine very picky about the colors (black, white, and a 
third transparent color) but it apparently is also very picky about the 
order of the colors in the image's color table. That was what caused the 
inversion for me, which also was affecting other cursors in this stack.

I exported the cursors as PNG images, and used Graphic Converter to swap 
the colors in the color table for the image. It looks like white must be 
first, black second, and the transparent color third. If the order is 
any different, you either get no cursor at all, or you get an inverted one.

Then I re-imported the PNG and touched it with the paint tools (still an 
important step.) Now they work fine and I can consistently fix cursors 
that aren't imported correctly by the engine.
