If you mean the type of the cursor--box or bar--it is set in the frame
parameters. This is documented in the ELisp reference.

Just to make the opinions more balanced, I don't agree with Bill. I'm
working with blinking cursor most of the time (because the blinking
cannot be turned off on the MS-DOS terminal), and I can see no
abomination in that feature.
I think many (most?) Unix tty's also blink their cursor by default. At
least the one where I'm typing this does.
