Use of cursor (underscore versus block)

[Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com>]

A user suggested the following:

01:14 < nadim> btw - someone should change the cursor to be something other
than underscore (a block or something) not to confuse things when you type
underscores - just a suggestion

This sounds like a good idea to me.  Personally, I use a block cursor
all the time.  I cannot remember how I set this, though.  What do
others think (I guess there is a potential of confusing new users with
a block cursor), and does anyone know how to set a block cursor?
