   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.

That's right!  I had forgot that. :-( I have put it in my .emacs file.
But the default when I run

     /usr/local/bin/emacs -q --no-site-file

is a block, not a thin bar.
