Documented Cursor Bug...Please try.

Hi all,

Jerry Daniels and I spent about an hour today trying to create a very 
simple recipe to replicate the 'Cursor stuck on I-beam' phenomenon most 
of us see regularly. I've built cursor libraries in the past to fix 
this, but the latest Rev engine (Windows) goes bezerk with the hand 
cursor sometimes and ends up writing garbage all over the screen. So, 
I'm more determined to just get Rev to fix the engine.

Here's the deal. I would very much appreciate it if many of you could 
test out this simple recipe stack:

type into the msg box (or cut and paste):

go URL "http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/cursorbug.rev"

The instructions are plain, and you can get back to me on this list 
whether or not your curson got 'stuck.' It's been tested on Windows XP 
but not much on other platforms. It would be great if MC users could 
test this too, so we can document it as an engine bug and not an IDE bug 
(I believe this in an engine bug).

Thanks!!!

-Chipp
