Re: Curse that cursor!

In Integer BASIC (Apple //e) is there a way to switch the cursor off/on?

Reason: I've got a wee bit of code that's essentially just reading the
serial port with IN#2, then printing it on screen. However, when it gets
a CHR$(13) it leaves a flashing block at the end of the line. I'd like
to avoid this if possible.

Many thanks.

There is a location in zero page which changes the cursor character. There is also something in the 80 column card ROM which would turn it off. The third alternative is to process the last character you get to see what it is. Unless it is in the printable range, print the first part of the line and skip the last character.
