Subject: cursor behaviour

I've spent a couple of days (yes, really :-( trying to get my emulator to
make the cursor behave in the same way as the beeb, but it's obvious that
I'm missing some information somewhere, so perhaps someone else can help ?

The command I always used to turn off the cursor was :

        VDU 23;8202;0;0;0;

or :

        VDU 23;10,&20,0;0;0;

That is, according to the manuals, write &20 into CRTC register 10.

Why does this turn the cursor off ?

And, why, when you enter COPY mode, does the cursor re-appear as a block ?

James.
