Hi, Is there anybody who can help me with MS-DOS cursor functions? I thought I read about hiding and showing the cursor with some INTERRUPT calls but could remember where I read it. Maybe you guys can give me a hint about how to do this. If you have a function written in C for this purpose, I would really like to get a copy of it. Thanks a lot. - Lee

Here you go.
/******************
* cursor.c
******************/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>
void cursor_on(void) /* turns the cursor off, using an interrupt */
{
union REGS r;
r.h.ah = 1; /* 1 is the cursor-modifying portion of structure r */
r.h.ch = 6; /* starting scan line for cursor */
r.h.cl = 7; /* ending scan line */
int86(0x10, &r, &r);
}
void cursor_off(void) /* turns the cursor on, using an interrupt */
{
union REGS r;
r.h.ah = 1; /* 1 is the cursor-modifying portion of structure r */
r.h.ch = -1; /* starting scan line (neg. means turn off) */
r.h.cl = 0; /* ending scan line */
int86(0x10, &r, &r);
}

Errr...confused about what? The original poster said that he needed some MS-DOS cursor routines, so I posted some. (Turbo C) What are you confused about?

Sorry about the confusing comments on my cursor code. The function names are right, the comments are switched.
