[reposting, perhaps the previous post got lost]

I'm trying to do that with conio funtions, but fail. I've searched the
FAQ with no luck. I'm using

       _setcursortype (_NOCURSOR);

But it only works in fullscreen mode, not inside a DOS box. In that case
the behaviour is somehow erratic, and usually the cursor shows up all
the time. Is this a known issue?

Is there a workaround? I'm using gcc 3.2 on WinnT 4.0 SP3.

TIA,
