Changing the Size and Style of the Physical Cursor

The Vermont Views system does not change the size and style of the physical cursor during initialization. The appearance of the physical cursor remains the same as it was before the application started. You can change the size and style of the physical cursor in your code with the physical cursor type function, csr_type():

void csr_type(csr_shape)

int csr_shape;        /* Style the physical cursor should be        */

Specify one of the following defined values for csr_shape:

BOT_LINE A line near the bottom of the character cell
BLOCK A full block covering the whole character cell
BOT_BLOCK A block in the bottom half of the character cell
TOP_BLOCK A block in the top half of the character cell

UNIX, POSIX and VMS Users: Only BLOCK and BOT_LINE are supported on UNIX, POSIX and VMS systems. If BOT_BLOCK or TOP_BLOCK is specified, the BLOCK cursor type is used.
