INT 10 - VIDEO - SET TEXT-MODE CURSOR SHAPE
AH = 01h
CH = cursor start and options (see #00013)
CL = bottom scan line containing cursor (bits 0-4)
Return: nothing
Desc: specify the starting and ending scan lines to be occupied by the
hardware cursor in text modes
Notes: buggy on EGA systems--BIOS remaps cursor shape in 43 line modes, but
returns unmapped cursor shape
UltraVision scales size to the current font height by assuming 14-line
monochrome and 8-line color fonts; this call is not valid if cursor
emulation has been disabled
applications which wish to change the cursor by programming the
hardware directly on EGA or above should call INT 10/AX=1130h or
read 0040h:0085h first to determine the current font height
on some adapters, setting the end line greater than the number of lines
in the font will result in the cursor extending to the top of the
next character cell on the right
BUG: AMI 386 BIOS and AST Premier 386 BIOS will lock up the system if AL
is not equal to the current video mode
