To change the cursor to a different image and maintain it, you need to set
the lockCursor to true:

  set lockCursor to true
  set cursor to watch

To use the "busy" cursor (spinning ball) you need to repeatedly call "set
cursor to busy" within a loop or similar repeating construct to make the
continually spin.

  put 0 into X
  set lockCursor to true
  repeat while X < 10
    set cursor to busy
    add 1 to X
    wait 10
  end repeat
  set lockCursor to false
