Omnipresent and flickering cursors:

Doesn't it already support turning off the cursor through escape codes? What version are you on?

Or maybe the telnet server doesn't send those escape codes?

@SilverWolf32 — cool-retro-term is version 1.1.1. Answering my own inquiry:

  tput civis

successfully hides the cursor while

  tput cnorm

re-enables it.

Can you confirm you wouldn't be able to see the cursor on a real terminal? I remember back in the BBS days that's exactly how things looked.
