	I know of at least two programs that will accomplish this, and
use them all the time on my Toshiba 1200.  One that will put your cursor
to any size is included with WordPerfect, and another along the
same lines is on any number of bulliten boards, and if I remember right
is one of the PC mag utilities files.  There is also another program
that you will need to make it stick, so that the cursor won't go back to
the underline.  This is also avaliable on a lot of BBS's.  

	The name of the cursor program is "cursor.com"
	The name of the program to fix the cursor's size is "stick.com"

	They are both available on the Toshiba co. BBS @ 714-837-4408
