Karl,

Hmmm. Two questions:
         How to pick up when I enter and leave a project
         How to write a script and make it execute.
----

I have made a large cursor and made it visible by running a loop in one of 
my morphs ( step, stepTime, etc. ) I get a big cursor, but the cursor 
disappears completely when I go up to previvious project.

May be I have to pick up when I enter and leave a project. By hard code 
(simple, if I knew where), or by scripting (unknown territory)

I tried making may first script as you suggest:
         I opened the form as a morph:
                 (Cursor normal copy magnifyBy: 4) asMorph openInWorld
         I pressed blue halo ("Open a viewer for me")
         In the viewer, I found a menu command "add a new script"
         In the script, I found a command to make it textual
         I then wrote code'Transcript cr; show: 'Hello'. accepted it.
         But nothing came in the Transcript -- It doesn't execute.
