1. How Do I Hide Cursor in Linux/FreeBSD
I'm trying to use cursor( NO_CURSOR ) in FreeBSD, but the dang thing
still shows up. How do I get rid of it?

cursor() doesn't do anything on Linux or FreeBSD.
In the exu source it looks like I made an attempt
to get it working using the ncurses library,
but it didn't work very well, so I commented out the code.
I'll make a note of it in the docs.

It's not gpm - I don't have that on my computer, but still have the blinking
cursor. However, there is a workaround: just move the cursor to the bottom
right corner or somewhere else out of the way. I have added that to my
"simple text-mode user interface" for Linux. I'll update the file on the
contributions page asap. It also has a few other bug fixes, such as the
line drawing characters, and
