How do I make my game use Mouse Over Names?

[Ytterbium]

I'd like to make my game display the name of a hotspot, object, or character when they move their mouse over it. The problem is, I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone help?

Have a label on one of your GUI's and then add to it's text:
@OVERHOTSPOT@

But that would only give it where it was placed on whatever GUI it was on.  

I don't remember quite how to do this, and until someone else comes along and tells you about finding the cursors' position, and then making a label pop up with the @OVERHOTSPOT@ within it at -5(cursorX) and -5(cursorY), you can always check out one of these templates with a new game, just so you get a sense of how to work it.  Get the Monkey Island style one, and look at the map screen, and the specific GUI for it.
