  The globe cursors probably have their Purgeable bits set. Go into ResEdit
and do a Get Info on each, and check out the resource attributes.

  HyperCard is not a typical Macintosh application. Yes, cursors are
supposed to be stored in resources. You can't find them in HyperCard
because they aren't stored in resources. Make sense? :-)

  Fortunately, it's easy to have your spinning globe in HyperCard... just
paste the cursors into your Home stack (or whatever stack you use them in),
and add the line "set cursor <resource id>" whenever you want to change
the cursor. The spinning cursor will probably coincide with some sort of
repeat loop in your script; just increment <resource id> at each iteration.
