Here when contents of one view are being loaded, the other view is

bars as the computation is not definitive. Placing the inditerminate
progress bars along for each view does not sound appealing.
So what I wanted to do is to display a busy cursor only when user moves
mouse over the view being loaded. And to have the arrow cursor at all
other
positions. (Like the IBeamCursor being displayed only when moved over the
editable views and arrow at all other places.)

Or do I have any other options?
--- Consider the revolving arrows idea, as used in the MAIL app. Put one
in each View. Leave the mouse cursor alone. Takes up a fraction of the
space that a progress bar does, but gets he point across. If you're fancy,
make it clickable and it shows an "Activity Viewer" window with a
progress bar, and text "43% done".
