   On a pure olde monochrome PC in text mode you can't, it's a hardware   
   blinkin' cursor. But in graphics mode there are a heap of "cursor off"   
   type programs. Also Blink.   
      
   chgcsr.asm   
   org 0x100   
   	  mov ah,03   
   	  xor bx,bx   
   	  int 0x10      ; q csr shape (to ch)   
   	  or  ch,0x20   ; bit 5 csr off   
   	  mov ah,01   
   	  int 0x10   
   	  ret   
      
   May or may not work! (probably not, in a cmd window)   
      
   --   
   Bah, and indeed, Humbug.
