==Disabling The Cursor With the BIOS==
 
MovingDisabling the cursor with the [[BIOS]] is done also through Int 0x10 (The general interrupt for screen functions) with AH set to 0x020x01. These are the registers used:
* AH = 0x01
* CH = 0x3f ; bits 6-7 are unused , if bit 5 set the cursor is disable (this bit may be cleared in the interrupt caller , see "Disabling The Cursor Without the BIOS" for safer way to disable the cursor) , bits 0-4 controll the cursor shape (if bits 0-4 all set the cursor is unvisiable regradless what's bit 5's state.)
 
And then Interrupt 0x10 and then vuala , there is no VISIBLE cursor on the screen
 
*Even on GUI modes the cursor remains active so don't think about it to much.
