I have a couple of problems in SuperCard I was hoping someone here could
help me out with.

The first is that I want to use 1 cursor for everything in a stack.  Before
creating a custom cursor, I tried using the arrow by setting the lockcursor
property to true after setting the cursor to the arrow.  This works fine
with the exception of when the user clicks in the menu bar.  After the user
does this, the cursor changes into the hand.  What can I do to prevent this?

And also, I'm using an external command to pop up menus (For certain reasons,
I didn't want to use SuperCard menus for this).  My problem is that I use
the MouseLoc function to get the mouse location.  But the coordinates It
returns are local to the window while the coordinates the XCMD wants are
global.  I saw a function called GlobalLoc in the pop-up menu of functions
that comes up in the script editor.  I tried it, but SuperCard doesn't
recognize it at all and I can't find it documented anywhere.  Is there anything
besides writing a globalLoc XCMD I can do to get global coordinates?
