	The following is a passage taken from Peter Notons book 
"Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC" on page 92:

		"If we ever want to bypass this hardware-controlled
	blinking cursor (and many of us do), we can use the reverse-video
	display attribute (hex 70) whenever the real cursor is located.
	This will prduce a block cursor that doesn't blink. Another way to
	do this is ato use the ASCII block characters, either CHR$(219)
	or CHR$(254)."

Hope this will help.
