Brian,

Are you really sure you need to use this? If your main event loop is 
hitting HANDLEEVENTS often enough, this should not be necessary. Most 
programs do NOT have to use this. When used it is typically necessary 
only in a very narrow scope.

Local Mode
Local Fn KillSpinningCursor
Dim evnt as EventRecord
End Fn =  Fn EventAvail(  0,  evnt )

called using something like:

If System(_sysVers) => 1000 Then Fn KillSpinningCursor


Also, there is a discussion in Robert Purves's demo at 
Examples/**Donations**/Robert P's Favorite Examples/Speed/Polltime 
folder/OS X Pizza cursor suppress
about using EventAvail.
