This would absolutely be a great feature, but at present, it isn't
supported. On Mac the cursor can only be B&W (black & white), and only 16x16
(or was it 32x32?) pixels.

On Windows it is possible to use any normal size, color picture as cursor,
but on Mac unfortunately not.

Of course (hehe) there is a workaround for this:

  -- this is very slow, but I think it'll work
  on openCard -- when you enter the card
    set the cursor to none -- the default cursor will be hidden
    set the cursorLock to true -- and that will stay,
    -- also when the handler is closed
  end openCard
  
  on idle -- always (well, most of the time)
    set the loc of image "cursorPicture" to the mouseLoc -- places the
    -- middle of the image to the location of the mouse
  end idle

  on closeCard -- when you leave the card
    set the cursorLock to false -- it won't keep the non-existing cursor,
    -- and get to the normal one when the hanler shuts down
  end closeCard
