INT 10H 01H: Set Cursor Shape & Size

                                                          Compatibility: All 
 Expects: AH    01H
          CH    start scan line of character matrix (0-1fH; 20H=no cursor)
          CL    end scan line of character matrix (0-1fH)
          ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Returns: (none)
          ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    Info: This sets the size of the hardware (blinking) cursor and its
          location within the character cell matrix.  Programs often use
          this fn to indicate "insert mode" vs. "overstrike mode".  You can
          also use it to turn off the blinking cursor altogether.

       CH selects the start of the cursor, in terms of the character cell
          matrix.  For instance, if CH=0, the cursor will start at the top
          of the cell matrix.

       CL selects the end of the cursor, in terms of the character cell
          matrix.  This setting usually depends on the height of the cell
          matrix.

          On EGA/VGA, you may check the word at 0040:0085 to see how many
          scan lines per character are used in the current video mode.  On
          VGA you may use INT 10H 1bH to obtain the size of the character
          matrix.

          However, you can use CL=1fH to set the bottom of the cursor at
          the bottom of the character cell

   Notes: ■ One way to turn off the cursor is to set CH and CL both to 20H.
            Another way its to position the hardware cursor below the
            bottom of the screen (INT 10H 02H).  When the blinking cursor
            is hidden, you may wish to display your own, non-blinking
            cursor (for instance, ASCII 219 (█) or 220 (▄).

          ■ Older PC/CGA BIOSes supported odd cursor shapes, including
            "wrap-around" cursors with a gap in the middle.  In many later
            BIOSes, the start line should be less than the end line.

          ■ The original "standard" cursor-handling technique is to thicken
            the cursor when the keyboard is in "insert mode".  Later, many
            products stopped doing this; they leave the cursor the same
            size, regardless of input mode or toggle the shape on a mode
            change.

            I, for one, prefer the reliable visual feedback of the original
            standard.

          ■ EGA/VGA systems can be set to "emulate" CGA cursor size.  When
            emulation is in effect, the values of CL and CH are assumed to
            be relative to a 8x8 character matrix and are scaled up,
            according to the actual size of the character matrix.  See
            INT 10H 12H BL=34H and the EgaMiscInfoRec.
