Hi everyone!

   Does anyone know of a standard way of turning the cursor off on VT100
terminal emulators?  I'm programming in C and using the curses library,
but couldn't find anything about how to shut off the cursor.  When I
wprintw to different parts of the screen, the cursor flickers back
and forth and is quite annoying.  Anyone know of a way to fix this?
All hints will be greatly appreciated!  E-mail replies direct to 
tone@leland.Stanford.EDU thanks.
