The solution that's mentioned somewhere in the emacs distribution doc
is to put the cursor -n1 -n2 command inside a .CMD file, along with an
invocation of emacs.    Apparently OS/2 changes the cursor back when
it displays a prompt, so executing the cursor command at an OS/2
prompt isn't very helpful.
