You are right: There's no cursor() dummy function in the Apple2 C library.

However I believe my original statement still holds true that the
Apple2 doesn't keep you from using cursor(). There's a cursor()
implementation in libsrc/common setting a variable to be used be
cgetc(). And the Apple2 cgetc() just ignores that variable.

Best, Oliver
