[net.micro.pc] Killing the EGA cursor

...
You can turn the cursor off with the BIOS video set cursor size function.
Just set AH=1, CH=start scan line, CL=end scan line and invoke INT 10H.
If bit 5 of CH is set on (like with hex 20), then the cursor will be turned
off.  This works on all monitors.  Of course you can always move the
cursor off screen (like line 26) if this doesn't suit you.
