I need a little help...how in the world, using BIOS interrupts, do I turn
off the cursor?

Thanks,
Tad

In text mode there is no way of turning the cursor off but you can place the
cursor off screen (which effectively turns it off).  A code fragment that I 
have used in the past follows :

	mov	ah,2		; function 2 = position cursor
	mov	bh,0		; select page 0
	mov	dl,0		; X position
	mov	dh,25		; Y position - which is off screen
	int	10h		; invoke software interupt

Enjoy,
Kevin
