Q: How do you turn off and on the alpha cursor using Line A exclusively.

I've tried bumping V_HID_CT with no real success. It stops the flashing but
left the image there. I've tried setting V_PERIOD (the flash rate) to 0 with
no luck. I've tried saving V_CUR_AD and then setting it to an empty non-screen
location for its exclusive use. I just can't seem to figure out the BIOS does
when I send an ESC f or ESC e sequence.
