   How do I hide choice.com's cursor?

   How do I hide choice.com's cursor?   
      
   I'm creating an old school DOS Batch file based menuing system in DOSBox   
   and I want to hide the blinking cursor that choice.com provides:   
      
   The following hides everything except the blinking underscore that is   
   the cursor.   
      
   CHOICE /N /C:KEYS > NUL   
      
   I've tried using ANSI escape sequence [30;40m to set both the   
   foreground and background to black.  But that doesn't have any effect on   
   the cursor.  In fact, the text that is displayed after choice finishes   
   is black on black.   
      
   Thank you in advance.
