The task is to hide the cursor and show it again.

Locomotive Basic

<lang locobasic>10 CURSOR 0: REM hide cursor 20 FOR l = 1 TO 2000: REM delay 30 NEXT l 40 CURSOR 1: REM show cursor</lang>

PicoLisp

<lang PicoLisp>(call "tput" "civis") # Invisible (wait 1000) (call "tput" "cvvis") # Visible</lang>

PureBasic

<lang PureBasic>#cursorSize = 10 ;use a full sized cursor

If OpenConsole()

 Print("Press any key to toggle cursor: ")
 EnableGraphicalConsole(1)
 height = #cursorSize
 ConsoleCursor(height)
 Repeat
   If Inkey()
     height ! #cursorSize
     ConsoleCursor(height)
   EndIf
 ForEver

EndIf </lang>

Tcl

<lang tcl>proc cursor Template:State "normal" {

   switch -- $state {

"normal" {set op "cnorm"} "invisible" {set op "civis"} "visible" {set op "cvvis"}

   }
   # Should be just: “exec tput $op” but it's not actually supported on my terminal...
   exec sh -c "tput $op || true"

}</lang> Demonstration code: <lang tcl>cursor normal puts "normal cursor" after 3000 cursor invisible puts "invisible cursor" after 3000 cursor visible puts "very visible cursor" after 3000 cursor normal puts "back to normal" after 1000</lang>
