   disp_setcursortype

   Usage
   #include <disp.h>
   void disp_setcursortype(int startline*256 + endline);

   Description
   The  disp_setcursortype function can be used to modify the  appearance
   of the hardware (blinking) cursor. The cursor consists of a series  of
   horizontal  lines corresponding to the lines of horizontal  pixels  in
   the character matrix. The monochrome and color systems have  different
   size  character  matrices.  There are  also  differences  between  the
   various  color  display  adaptors. In the  latter  case,  however,  an
   internal  compensation is carried out which allows all color  adaptors
   to  be  specified using an 8x8 matrix. Monochrome systems use  a  14x9
   matrix. A BIOS call is used to set the cursor size, arguments expected
   are the starting and ending lines for the cursor.
   The DOS default cursor types are:

   Monochrome 11 12((11*256)+12)
   Color       6  7((6*256)+7)

   There  are  three values defined in disp.h which can be  used  to  set

   standard cursor types:
   DISP_CURSORBLOCK    a full bock cursor
   DISP_CURSORHALF     a half block cursor
   DISP_CURSORUL       an underline cursor

   Example
   #include <conio.h>
   #include <disp.h>

   main()
   {
        disp_open();
        disp_move(0,0);
        disp_eeop();
        disp_printf("Press any key for a block cursor\n");
        disp_flush();
        getch();
        disp_setcursortype(DISP_CURSORBLOCK);
        disp_printf("Press any key for a half cursor\n");
        disp_flush();
        getch();
        disp_setcursortype(DISP_CURSORHALF);
        disp_printf("Press any key to exit");
        disp_flush();
        getch();
        disp_close();
   }
