Very simple cursor problem

You need to make sure you lock the cursor or it will immediately change back
to the default cursor. So:

on mouseEnter
  set the lockCursor to true
  set the cursor to hand
  -- etc.
end mouseEnter

on mouseLeave
  set the lockCursor to false  -- restore it to its "idle" state
end mouseLeave

If your app doesn't have the arrow as the main cursor in the program, you
can "set the defaultCursor to arrow" when your app starts up.
