Hand cursor in 2.9 beta

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Thanks Eric. It's a little more complicated than I had first thought.  
I've been noticing some erratic performance as I experiment with this;  
for example, after saving a script, the cursor continues to be a  
wristwatch instead of turning back to the I-beam. I have to use the  
message box to unlock the cursor again, so I can see there is a  
possibility of screwing things up with this. (smile)
