Problem

Symptoms: A customer's cursor disappeared when entering WP 5.1 DOS after exiting Alpha FOUR. Solutions: This is a known problem with Alpha FOUR. The following is an excerpt from the Alpha FOUR Support BBS file NOCURSOR.TXT: Missing Cursor after exiting Alpha FOUR If the cursor disappears after exiting Alpha FOUR and you cannot see it in other programs, try typing the following at the DOS prompt: MODE CO80 This forces the monitor into the Color 80 column video mode which should restore the cursor. If this does indeed restore the cursor, you can create a simple batch file that loads Alpha FOUR and automatically executes this command when you quit. CD\ALPHA4V2 A4 MODE CO80 The batch file above will wait until you exit Alpha FOUR before executing the mode command. See your DOS manual for more information on creating batch files.
