As has been said previously, the cursor for an IBM PC, is hardwired
into the display adapter (meaning you can't stop it blinking).
However, you can turn it off. Also, you can emulate the cursor
by placing an alternate character at the current cursor position
(something like character 219, which is a solid block).
The idea is to use the keyboard, video or timer interrupts and
then read the cursor position (an INT 10H function) and place
your particular character there. I'll see if I can code this
up sometime within the next few days.
