David,
I too have pondered why
set cursor to busy
uses the really old black and white rotating busy cursor from
Hypercard of the 1900's rather than whatever is the standard on the
platform today.
If you find that there is a command (for example):
set cursor to century2000busycursor
or something like that, that displays this century's busy cursor,
please let me know.
Thanks,
Kee Nethery

Hi David,
Apple wants you to use some kind of progress indicator, rather than
a busy cursor or beach ball. There are also indeterminate progress
indicators.
You can use the send command to use your own cursor, but I think you
need to lock the cursor.

Any way to get a modern looking beach ball rather than a spinning

white pie chart - much as I love it :)
My only thought is to create a "send message in ticks" loop that
set the
cursor to a series of graphics - bit puzzled why this has not been
updated -
or am I missing something? For instance what are the GUI
recommendations
from Apple - the beachball is generally feared and loathed due to
the fact
it means usually something has frozen - while the grey spinning
"daisy"
while not a cursor is less worrying to the user.
