Use the SLtt_set_cursor_visibility function, e.g.,

   void cursor_on ()
   {
      (void) SLtt_set_cursor_visibility (1);
      SLtt_flush_output ();
   }
   void cursor_off ()
   {
      (void) SLtt_set_cursor_visibility (0);
      SLtt_flush_output ();
   }

Keep in mind that not all terminals have this capability, and the
SLtt_set_cursor_visibility has no effect on DOS/Windows/OS2 systems.
I never found time to look into how to do this on those systems.
