Very simple cursor problem

[Peter Brigham]

I found I was having problems with using the lock cursor technique in  
this kind of situation, when the cursor gets locked and doesn't get  
unlocked. Once you lock it you have to take on the job of resetting  
it for every context, until you unlock it. And then sometimes for  
various reasons it stays locked, perhaps because a rapidly-moving  
cursor occasionally fails to trigger a mouseLeave message. I use "set  
the defaultcursor to hand" then "set the defaultcursor to empty",  
which works nicely and lets Rev and/or the system handle the changes  
without locking up the cursor.
