I am running gnuemacs for os2 in an 80X42 window with the 10X6 font and
the cursor is practically invisible. I saw a post a while back that said
the command:

   cursor -70 -100

would produce a larger cursor, however this doesn't seem to do anything.
I tried running this both inside an emacs *shell* buffer and in an os/2
window. In the os/2 window the cursor was enlarged for a split second
but returned to its original size when the next prompt was displayed.

Is there any detailed documentation on the cursor command and are any
modifications to the termcap file necessary? Where/when should it be run?

I have also been having problems running link386 inside gnu emacs. I posted
something about this problem earlier but received no responses, so I'll
tack the question onto this post for another try. Whenever I run link386 in
gnuemacs it hangs until killed. Link386 runs fine in an os/2 window.
