Cursor #40

Closed szczys closed 6 years ago

szczys commented 6 years ago

@vantonic has requested a cursor in BASIC. His suggestion was a simple underscore or a block. His feeling is that people will be looking for a cursor and that this makes it feel more like a retrocomputer.

I am uncertain that this is needed. Traditionally a cursor blinks and without the blink I don't think it has the same effect. Making the cursor blink is likely a non-trivial change.

@jaromir-sukuba do you have an opinion one way or the other on this?

Take a look at 0.77 Also, one more word is added - CURSOR X, where X=0 turns cursor off, X=1 turns it on

Tested and working.
