Hi, i used this code, but all it does is change the cursor to arrow with hourglass:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <dos.h>

int main()
{
string command;
date today;
getdate(&today);
cout<<"Terminal Activated ";
cout<<today.da_mon<<" "<<today.da_day<<" "<<today.da_year<<"\n";
while(command!="end")
{
cin>>command;
if(command=="cursor")
ShowCursor(FALSE);
if(command=="show")
ShowCursor(TRUE);
}
}

ive tried passing the parameter in numbers, tried it in lowercase, someone please help.

In one sentence that we can all understand: what do you want to do? Change the cursor?

I just think he wants to hide/show the cursor.

The code you are already using should do the job...

No, since at the moment the app is closing the cursor is reset (I think).

Oh, and you should use <string>, <iostream> and
using namespace std;
to comply with the current C++ standard.

i just got a new compiler that supports non .h include names yesterday night.

the app wont close till u type end, compile it, and test it
