Well, I've seen this discussion before... I'd say about 5 months ago, this was an active question (setting the cursor on/off/solid and I said I'd write a quicky TSR to try and fix it. Well, it took awhile, but, having time during Thanksgiving, I hammered one out. This is a basic description/problem list: 1. It does reproduce a solid, non-blinking cursor, where the cursor should be. 2. However, it gets really nasty when the screen scrolls up during cursor repositioning (i.e. during a "DIR") 3. It crashes Turbo Pascal, once you enter the edit mode. 4. It makes IBM Basica do very strange things. All-in-all these are not good signs. I used the tried-and-true, anti-IBM method of replacing the vector table addresses, so I know that works. I will post it for fixing/examination. But my question is, do I post it here, somewhere else, or mail it to somebody???? (all this moderation/no moderation stuff left me in the dust - I should have paid attention). Somebody let me know, and I'll have it out by Tuesday, if I find out how. Then, maybe we can all have solid cursors, at least sometimes. ..lar ----- Larry Esmonde, Program Director of SWORD (Students Working On R & D) Computer Science Dept.
