[NFBCS] Terminal emulation

[Doug Lee]

Sounds like Hummingbird is using a typical "insert cursor," which is a non-blinking block. If you can, use the options in the application to disable that special cursor type. It's meant as a visual hint that you will be
inserting rather than overtyping text, but it causes this sort of problem often enough.

I am trying to get a terminal emulator working with Jaws and Windows 10. 
Hummingbird is working reasonably well, with one big exception.  When I
start typing in Edit, Jaws stops reading reliably.  The cursor turns from
the vertical bar I set into a big blob, and Jaws doesn't see it.  I'm
guessing the blob is why Jaws doesn't see it.
I called the charmers at FS tech support, and my helper had me check an
item in the JCF file, which had to be either 254 or 255.  We tried both,
but neither solved the problem.

I see something in the Jaws settting center about horizontal and vertical
cursor dimensions, but Googling those settings yielded nothing.

I'd welcome any thoughts on these things.  Tomorrow, I'll sit on hold for
another Jaws tech person.
