Right. That's one of the major reasons why some people still use Heath-19
emulation instead. Especially with applications that have "insert mode"
and "replace mode" (such as 3270 protocol converters) -- so they can change
the cursor shape to reflect the current mode.

You might want to look into the PRODUCT macro. This macro, whose definition
you can fill in as desired, gets its arguments from a host-generated escape
sequence.
