G'Day,

I am hoping that somebody can help me with an annoying problem I am having with
an MSQuickBasic 4.0 program.  The problem is that upon exiting the program the 
DOS cursor is invisible until something like a DIR is done.  It is most
disconcerting to be faced with a screen with no cursor.  

Within the program I do lots of COLOR FORGROUND%, BACKGROUND% setting.  
Initially I did not set the cursor within the program to hidden or visible 
(LOCATE ,,[1/0]) but I have tried explicitly setting it to visible before 
leaving the program.  This does not make the DOS cursor visible.

If anybody knows what is causing this I would be most grateful to hear from
you.

Many thanks,
Ian
