disable the cursor

[maximus]

I try with PRINT CHR$(17)

Of course it works, but when program read again the instruction, it reappears

Is there a way to disable it definitively ?

In $26A is a byte with some control bits:
- Bit 0 -> Cursor status (does the cursor blink)
- Bit 1 -> Video status (does printing to the screen works)
- Bit 3 -> Keyboard sound status (will it do clickety clicks)
- Bit 5 -> Are the two first columns of the screen writable by print

So I guess something like POKE#26A,PEEK(#26A) AND 254 should work.

Thanks Dbug for your very fast reaction

Code: Select all

10 POKE#26A,PEEK(#26A)
20 POKE#26A,254
