Cursor for the blind! (AREV Specific)

In an effort to accommodate blind users of our AREV 3.12 database, I have been asked to find a way to change the blinking-block text cursor to a blinking-line cursor. It seems the software that reads screens to the operator (JAWS), is unable to track the blinking-block cursor used in AREV windows.
Does anyone know how this may be done?

Peter,
I can't think of a way to automatically do this, but you can write code that uses GETCURSOR and PUTCURSOR. These let you modify the shape of the cursor.
It is a four byte variable, and documentation can be found in the R/Basic manual.

Thank you! Those functions should do nicely. It would have been helpful, if Revelation had placed a reference to those functions in their 3.12 R/Basic index, instead of only refering to the use of cursors in select lists.
