Hi,

I've got two fairly simple Mac programming questions that I can't seem
to figure out.

1) How do I get an application to launch and then open a data file by double
clicking on that data file?

2) How do I animate cursors (like the spinning watch).  I looked into
the finder and found the cursors in a resource type acur or something
like that.  I have kludged an animated cursor by toggling from cursur
to cursor, but I have to make expicit calls to toggle.  Any way to
have the OS toggle for me?

Thanks for any help!
