In my experience, Using the afore-mentioned method of setting the 
cursor scan lines works, but with the following twist: use the current
settings and "or" the fifth bit of the top's setting.  This has the effect
of hiding the cursor on all machines I've tested (CGA, EGA, & VGA)  To 
bring the cursor back, you then clear this bit.

Hope it works for you.
