I've downloaded ResFool and didn't find anything in the documentation referring to translating an image such as a JPEG, TIFF, or BMP into a cursor. I couldn't locate a copy of ResEdit or Resourcerer.

Isn't there any location on the Internet with a step-by-step guide to take an image like a JPEG, and access it in RB as a MouseCursor? Even if the aforementioned process involves the use of another program, but includes the steps in that program in the step-by-step guide, it seems as though this should be a simple process to find information on.

I appreciate the help thus far, but I'm still quite in the dark here. Any further assistance would be appreciated.

The application is going to ported to OS X and Mac OS, and most
likely Windows at some point.

OK, once the cursors are in your project, they are portable.  On the
Mac, you create a cursor file using ResEdit, ResFool, or Resourcerer
to create a 'CURS' resource.  The file should contain just that
resource and no others.  Then simply drag this file into your
project; REALbasic will import it as a cursor item, which you can
assign to MouseCursor.

Best,
