There's no simple solution unfortunately from what I've been
able to learn. The only way is to turn the cursor off using
the technique posted earlier and then maintain your own cursor
using an inverse video block character. The cleanest way to do
this is to write an interrupt routine that accesses global
cursor coorinates and periodically writes out this inverse block
at the proper location. Once you have this interrupt routine
in place, it will act transparently. Not a nice solution, but
its the best way I can think of...
