Hi,
   As programmers are forced to have a monochrome monitor
connected to the system for debugging, I found that it can be put to
use even when we are not debugging programs. It can be used to run DOS
sessions.
   After invoking DOS from windows. I tried "mode mono", as expected I
found the dos prompt in the monochrome monitor, but WITHOUT THE
CURSOR!!. I reduced the dos window in the PRIMARY monitor, this
allowed me to use the monochrome FULL SCREEN for DOS while I was under
windows using the other full screen for something else!!.
   BUT THE QUESTION IS... HOW DO I MAKE THE CURSOR APPEAR IN THE
MONOCHROME MONITOR? When I type something, I could see the cursor
moving inside the DOS window in the PRIMARY MONITOR.

Any Suggestions,
