I disagree. I find this stuff in my Netscape.ad file:

! Mouse cursor when over an anchor.
*linkCursor: hand2
! Mouse cursor when awaiting a reply.
*busyCursor: watch
! Mouse cursor when "Save Next Link As..." mode is on, and over a link.
*saveNextLinkCursor: hand2
! Mouse cursor when "Save Next Link As..." mode is on, and not over a link.
*saveNextNonlinkCursor: crosshair
