Description
The 'CURSOR' mnemonic sets the text cursor attributes in a SysConsole or TermConsole.
In BBj 4.0 and higher, the 'CURSOR' mnemonic can be used to reverse the default shapes of the insert and replace cursors. Adding "_line" or "_block" to the "ins" or "rep" forces the cursor to appear as a block or an underline.
