The problem I was talking about has nothing to do with what the cursor
looks like.

Also I am curious... why would the cursor not be a blinking
"checkerboard" as usual? Those national ISO-646 character sets that have
the � character (which I guess is what we've been talking about) have it
in place of the "at sign" @, not in place of DEL (hex 7f) where the
Apple //e cursor character is stored. And it isn't in place of the
square bracket characters or the forward slash either, which makes the
fact that it appears in the power-on message strange, to say the least.

On the German //e the cursor is simply a blinking checkerboard.
