I, too, noticed that the VDI cursor control routines are missing from 
the GCC GEM libs.

After searching the libs with the archiver and namer, I am now certain
they are not there.  At this point, I can only recommend getting the
sources necessary to make gem.olb, and adding the four missing calls
to the ROM code yourself.  One day soon, I am going to do this too.
