56. Altering the cursor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is possible to alter the size and flash rate of the cursor in all screen Modes, and to turn it off, with the command: VDU23;10,N,0;0;0; where N is made up by adding together two numbers. The first controls the flashrate, and you must pick one of the following... 0=steady 32=invisible 64=fast_flash 96=slow_flash (default is 96) The second controls the size, and you may have anything from a thick block, which is 0 in all Modes, to a thin line, which is 7 in Modes 0,1,2,4 & 5, 9 in Modes 3 & 6, and 18 in Mode 7, (default is 7 in Modes 0-6, and 18 in Mode 7). ie. 0=thick block in all modes 7=thin line in modes 0,1,2,4,5 (default 7) 9=thin line in modes 3,6 (default 7) 8=thin line in mode 7 (default 18) Thus N=105 (96+9) would give you a thinner cursor in Modes 3 & 6, and N=0 would give you a non-flashing solid block in all Modes. A Mode change will reset the cursor, and it can still be turned on and off with the usual commands.
