- This is highly system-specific - I don't think you can turn the cursor off on a
- VT-100 terminal, and there isn't one on a KSR-33 teletype...
-
- Just making a wild guess that you may be using MS-DOS, Borland provides a
- _setcursortype() function (in conio.h) that will turn the cursor off and on.
- Microsoft likely provides an equivalent function, but often uses different
- names than Borland for the MS-DOS-specific functions.
-
- Study your library references.

- If you ask a question in a newsgroup you should be prepared to read the group
- for replies. (but I generally do a followup-and-reply anyway...)
