Hmmm, the FIRST thing I ever did when building any HC SA was change 
the CURS 128 resource tothe arrow.

But I agree. When developing the tool/mode cursors need to be 
graphically unique. And if they match the majority of other design 
programs, I can't see that as anything but a good thing.

Personally I think the default cursor the end-user will use should be 
the arrow cursor in any app development environment. Other choices 
should then be there for those that differ.. just my opinion ;)

Thanks for the tips on making the arrow the default!
