Sorry I don't understand. I currently have hlsearch in my _vimrc file so the search words are highlighted but I can't see the cursor and I don't know how to make it a black blinking square. Also in Unix Vi I was able to type a number and the letter l - lower case L (100l for example) and it would take the cursor to column 100. Is there a way to do this in Vim for windows?
I really appreciate the help!

Also, if your cursor does not stand out enough, you might consider
setting 'hlsearch' and setting the highlight for CurSearch to
something different than Search. By default,
:hi CurSearch
CurSearch xxx links to Search
See
:help 'hlsearch'
:help CurSearch
:help Search
:help 06.3
:help highlight-link
:help highlight-args
