Short: Switch Cursor on/off in Shellwindow
Author: Olaf Peters <olf@informatik.uni-bremen.de>

Type: util/misc
Long:
NAME
Cursor
SYNOPSIS
Cursor SWITCH/A
FUNCTION
Switch on/off the displaying of the Cursor in a Shell-Window.
Why? Well, some programs which do heavy output in a shell window, i.e
a progress display, often do not switch off the Cursor, which slows
down execution of the program. Using Cursor you may switch off the
cursor before issueing the command and will see that it executes
noteably faster.
INPUTS
SWITCH -> use ON to switch the cursor on, OFF to switch it off.
I bet you guessed that? :-)
EXAMPLE
1> Cursor ON
1> Cursor OFF
