I've been trying to get more comfortable colors and I changed "window"
to a pale green. Unfortunately, the light gray cursor shows up very
poorly on that. I can't see anything in the list of color defs that
would control it. The only thing that's currently set to that color
didn't change it when I tested it. Anybody know this little arcane
tidbit of knowledge? :)

If you load ansi.sys in config.sys, you can use the prompt command in
autoexec.bat to change your cursor colour with ansi control characters.
