6.2.10 CurStart, CurEnd

Syntax:
CurStart row
CurEnd row
Example:
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.
