CurStart row CurEnd row
CurStart 5 CurEnd 7
This keyword is used to control the shape of the cursor (only on terminals and operating systems that support it). On typical DOS-like consoles, the cursor constis of 8 rows, labelled top-down from zero to seven. You can specify a cursor start row and a cursor end row. The MsgEd TE default values of 6 (start) and 7 (end) result in a standard "underline" cursor.
If you are using MsgEd TE with a monochrome display adapter like MDA,
MGA or HGC, the cursor consists of 14 rows instead of 8. There, you will have
to use the CurStart
and CurEnd
keywords to produce a sensible
cursor shape. Values of 11 for start and 12 for end are suggested for mono
display adapters.
