Changing the cursor shape works fully in gvim (all platforms) and for
height but not width in the Windows console (aka Dos Box). In
non-Windows console Vim (for instance in xterm) Vim cannot change the
cursor shape, its shape must be set in the underlying console. In all
cases the relevant setting is the 'guicursor' option, even in Windows
non-GUI Vim.

See :help 'guicursor'
