The [SOLVED] mystery of the disappearing blinking cursor

[Cobalt]

• If your intention is to enable/disable the blinking *cursor*, use LOCATE ,,0 (disable) or LOCATE ,,1 (enable). This is effective to show the cursor after a PRINT statement. For INPUT it doesn't matter if you disabled it or not, as it'll show anyway.

so it is LOCATE that normally makes the cursor visable(and changes the way it looks) just not what was needed here.

I also want to add my thanks to you guys, for digging into this mystery. I won't bother to re-install MS QB, to check whether it behaves exactly the same way. Kinda don't think it did, although I won't swear to it. Thanks again.

It does. I did check.
