The BASIC statement LOCATE X,Y,1,0,7 executed under DOS and real mode
generates a cursor block eight lines tall. Executing the same
statement under protected mode generates a small block of a cursor.
For a full-height cursor under protected mode, the statement must be
LOCATE X,Y,1,0,15. This is expected behavior and is documented in the
"Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Language Reference" on Page 196.
This information applies to Microsoft BASIC Compiler Versions 6.00 and
6.00b for MS-DOS and MS OS/2, and to Microsoft BASIC Professional
Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
