Description

Defines the cursor style to use. The display consists of 4 or 8 rows, depending on the printer you have. Each row consists of 8 horizontal lines, for a total of 32 or 64 lines. The cursor, at most, is as tall as a display row. So, it has up to 8 horizontal lines, numbered 0 to 7 (from top to bottom). To define a cursor style, specify a range of consecutive lines.

On printers with the 4-row printer, there is a gap between lines 31 and 32, where nothing displays. This gap causes a solid block cursor to look fine on the first three rows, but not on the fourth row. Due to this gap, the application should use cursor line 7 only as a single-line cursor.
