(please note that I read all I could throughout the forums and found no help otherwise....)

I even found a website tutorial:
http://www.digitalmindstudio.ch/script.php?id=4&page=2

now while I did NOT do everything on this page. I thought I was doing enough...

basically, this is my first game, so I don't care about look, use or whatever....I just want to for now open an inventory window (i can do that)....have my pointer arrow be the only cursor available (i can do that) then you click on the item to select it (i CAN'T do that) and then click ok....

if you click ok while the arrow is still up, I default you back to walk...

I saw on these boards that it HAS to be the interact cursor to select an item... I tried that...no go....I click on my inventory and just nothing happens....

here is my global script thus far.....

// main global script file

{

}
