wordprocessing tasks a lot easier.This program is a solution to these problems.

and type CURSOR.You will get a very friendly help message telling you how to use
the program.But for some more help,read on!

│Built in cursors│
└────────────────┘
 
These are the standard cursors built-into the program for special purposes.
 
Type: CURSOR /B to get a block , or CURSOR /U to get the normal cursor
      CURSOR /S to get a split cursor , or CURSOR /O to turn off the cursor

0  ██████████  This is  the purpose of the other half of the cursor command.
1  ██████████
2  ██████████  The cursor is made up of eight scanlines numbered 0 to 7
3  ██████████  By specifying a number between 0 and 7 as the first number
4  ██████████  and another number between 0 and 7 as the ending number a
5  ██████████  cursor of any thickness can be made,or perhaps more usefully
6  ██████████  split cursors can be made,by giving a starting value greater
7  ██████████  than the ending value.If you're still stuck,have a look at the
               examples given below:
 
CURSOR 00  CURSOR 25  CURSOR 07  CURSOR 70  CURSOR 61 CURSOR 51 CURSOR 45
 
P.S: if you're irritated by the 'Cursor redefined' message when you use CURSOR,
     BATch programmers may know that adding >NUL to the end of the command will
     suppress the message.
 
P.P.S: Type COPY CURSOR.DOC PRN: to get a printed copy.
