Does anyone know how to make the cursor invisible in BSD curses?  I have
tried getting the "vi" termcap using tgetstr and then setting it using
tputs, but I have been unable to get this method to work (for any of the
other capabilities as well).

If anyone cares, I am working on a SPARCstation 1 running 4.0.1, and 
programming in (AT&T's) C++.

Any suggestions appreciated at this point.

Thanks in advance,

  --Jerry
