I've used DOS PowerBasic almost every day since it was TurboBasic, and have never seen this before yesterday: Occasionally the blinking underscore cursor just disappears.
PB is still working, if I arrow up enough to hit the top of the visible page it starts scrolling the page just as if the cursor were there, and if I move the invisible cursor to the left far enough it jumps to the end of the previous line and the line number goes up by one.
But, no cursor! I have to exit PB and restart.
I haven't noticed any particular thing I was doing when it went AWOL.
Ideas?
