Here are two routines that I have used on a IBM-CGA system. Make
an ASCII file for each then run them through DEBUG, then use
the output .COM files

The first one turns off the cursor - call it NOCUR.TXT
---------------------------
a 100
mov  ah,1
mov  ch,20
int  10
int  20

r cx
8
n nocur.com
w
q
--------------------------------
The blank line after 'int 20' is necessary.
do DEBUG < NOCUR.TXT  then use NOCUR.COM

The second will restore the cursor - call it CUR.TXT
---------------------------------
a 100
mov  ah,10
int  10
cmp  al,7
jz   10d
mov  cx,607
jmp  110
mov  cx,0b0c
mov  ah,1
int  10
int  20

r cx
16
n cur.com
w
q
-----------------------------
Again the blank line after 'int 20' is necessary.
do DEBUG < CUR.TXT   then use CUR.COM
