When a user program is initiated, the cursor is set to OFF. CURSOR ON turns on the cursor
for keyboard entry operation by the INKEY$ function. CURSOR OFF turns off the cursor.
• The cursor size depends upon the screen mode (single-byte ANK mode or two-byte
Kanji mode), the screen font size (standard-size or small-size), and the character
enlargement attribute (regular-size, double-width, double-height, or quadruple-size). For
details about the cursor, refer to Chapter 7, Subsection 7.1.3.
• The cursor shape specified by the most recently executed LOCATE statement takes
effect.

make the cursor visible by using the LOCATE statement.
