Always Hide the Cursor?

Hi,

I'd like to hide the cursor (why isn't it hidden by default?).

I can configure my terminal to have a keybinding to hide the cursor,
e.g.:

    URxvt.keysym.C-0:           command:\033[?25l

But the cursor often reappear without being asked.

I thought of using s-lang macros and hooks but doing:

    message("\033[?25l");

only outputs the sequence without having the expected side effect.

Greetings,

This works:

    tt_send ("\e[?25l");
