I have tried to find an answer to this question and have not been successful.
  When in AHP, if a module is clicked while the cursor is a "open hand" rather than a "pointed finger", the module icon "lifts up" and changes color.
  My icons are normally grey background, but when clicked and "lifted", they change to orange.
  What does this mean?
  thanks!!!

Noam

That's the "active"  module that you are currently making changes to.

  I don't think that the color change has anything to do with "active module that I am making changes to".
I can change the HCUC, name, etc., and the color does NOT change.
  There must be something else that the color change/"lifts up" means....
Try it for yourself....
  click on the module when the pointer icon is an open hand.  the module background changes color and it appears to "lift" off the "desktop" or window.
  Then click on it again and the color will change back and it will "drop" back to the "desktop".
  Then change the name of the module, change the HCUC, turn it on or off..... anything where the pointer icon is a pointing finger, and the module does NOT change color or "lift".
  Could this be a "feature" that was thought of and didn't go anywhere?
  hhmmmm.....

Noam

It makes it easier for you to remember which module you are working on, that's all. You CAN make changes without "popping" it up, but you can only pop" one module up at a time.

OK... I see.
  Just curious as to why this was happening, and wanted to know if this was changing anything like temporarily disabling the module or setting something special like "don't store in interface" or "run locally".
Thanks for the info!
