Does anyone know the escape sequence to turn off
the cursor in vt100 mode? I just want to turn it
off, do some things, and turn it back on again in
my shell script. I'm emulating vt100 in the terminal.app
in NeXTStep 3.3 if it makes any difference.

Hi Jeffrey/Kumiko
Assuming that you emulation supports it, there are private VT
Esc sequences to do this.
Try Esc [ ? 25 l (That is lower case "ell") to turn it off, an
Esc [ ? 25 h to put it back on.
These are not "pure" VT-100, but are incoporated in many devices and
emulators.
Your mileage may vary, but give tehm a shot
