-Linux now has some ability to manipulate cursor appearance. Normally, you
-can set the size of hardware cursor (and also work around some ugly bugs in
-those miserable Trident cards [#f1]_. You can now play a few new tricks:
-you can make your cursor look
-
-like a non-blinking red block, make it inverse background of the character it's
-over or to highlight that character and still choose whether the original
-hardware cursor should remain visible or not. There may be other things I have
-never thought of.

The cursor appearance is controlled by a ``<ESC>[?1;2;3c`` escape sequence
where 1, 2 and 3 are parameters described below. If you omit any of them,
Bit setting takes place before bit toggling, so you can simply clear a
bit by including it in both the set mask and the toggle mask.
