    Package: ncurses-bin
    Version: 5.4-4

    $ reset
    does not restore the block cursor, if it has disappeared.
    TERM=rxvt
    (crxvt)

    How do you set a block cursor?

    Daniel> How do you set a block cursor?

    Well, I don't know what it's called.
    I'm just talking about the cursor.
    Without it one can't tell where the next character will be entered on
    e.g., the command line, or in an editor.
    Even a blinking cursor would be better than no cursor at all.

    This works for xterm so presumably it is an omission in the reset
    sequence for rxvt. I'll work out which one later, it should be very
    easy.

    I assumed he was talking about
    civis=\E[?25l,
    cnorm=\E[?25h,

    Righto! I did
    $ echo -e \\e[?25l
    which thrust me back into that nightmare, and
    $ echo -e \\e[?25h
    which cured it.
    So "reset" should be sure not to forget that.
