Allow small/medium cursors that DOS window has

[GoogleCodeExporter]

you don't have any block cursors between the faint underscore and the large
block.  I would be a nice addition to allow a 'small' and 'medium' block
cursor similar to what the MS-DOS win in XP looks like --

Small being about 3 pixels high (starting from the underline position),
and medium (the one I prefer), is less than the height of an 'x'.  In fact,
it looks like it goes from the underline to just a hair below the top curve
of a lower case 'c' -- I can see a faint gap between the cursor and the top
most part of the curve of the c, so the block is probably no more than
1/3rd(?) the height of the character cell?

Would be a nice addition to what is a VERY polished and excellent product.

Just found it yesterday...and am impressed...Many thanks!

I won't change the 2-pixel underscore cursor, because I find the 3-pixel cursor 
in
the console rather ugly due to it touching the base of characters. I'll consider
adding the half block cursor though. Do you like the way it inverts half the
character, or could this be handled differently?

I think the reverse video is fine...

On reflection, this is too much work for too little gain. There's no 
straightforward 
way to do reverse video for half a character, and console's approach of xoring 
the 
colours only really works properly for black and white.
