Try the following:

c:/> debug block.com
-a
xxxx:0100 mov ch,1
          mov cl,6
          int 10
          ret
<C/R>
-rcx 9  # loads CX register with 9
-w      # writes out to block.com
-q
c:/> block

Your cursor should now be a block.  If you don't like the shape, try playing
with "mov cl,6".

If you want the line cursor back (although I don't know why), change "mov ch,1"
to "mov ch,6" and change "mov cl,6" to "mov cl,7".
