SET CURSOR


Syntax:     SET CURSOR ON/off/(<expL>)

Purpose:    To toggle the screen cursor on and off.

Usage:      When the CURSOR is OFF, keyboard entry and screen display
            are unaffected.  The cursor is merely hidden and data entry
            may still be accomplished without the cursor being visible.

            The primary usefulness of this command is to suppress the
            cursor while the screen is being painted.  Ideally, the only
            time the cursor should show in a production program is when
            you are in full-screen edit, the memo editor, or some kind
            of line edit.

Library:    CLIPPER.LIB
