how to change the cursor `look and feel`

[hictio]

hi there, i was wondering if there was a secret, or technique, that allows a user to change the `look` of the cursor. i want to change the default blinking `_`, by a blinking square.
i`ve read all the man pages that i could get my hands on, besides all the `setterminal` info. all i could find is how to make the cursor invisible or not `blinkable`.
thanks in advance.
ps: this question is for the cursor of the terminal, not the mouse cursor.

if anyone cares, i found a way to replace the blinking underscore for the square.
on my machine, (slackware 4.0.0/linux 2.2.6)if you do a:

cat /usr/share/terminfo/l/linux-koi8

the terminal produces some bogus complaints, and then presto, you have the blinking square instead of the underscore.
i`m sure thatit´s due to some other reason, but since the system continues to work well, and for the moment i find that kind of konsole cursor better, i even made a shell script to load the cursor automatically.
