The cursor in CKMKER isn't done via a resource (either a CRSR or a
FONT character).  Instead, it's done by a specific InvertRect call
that toggles the screen-bits that lie under the cursor location.  As
far as I can tell, there's no way to change its appearance without
going in with a code-patching utility and altering the code that
calculates the dimensions of the rectangle.

I don't like it much, either... and if/when I succeed in porting
CKMKER into Lightspeed C, I may decide to create an alternate cursor
shape and/or set up a nonblinking cursor.
