+*** The buffer-local variable cursor-type can be used to specify the
+cursor to use in windows displaying a buffer.  Values are interpreted
+as follows:
+
+  t            use the cursor specified for the frame (default)
+  nil          don't display a cursor
+  `bar'                display a bar cursor with default width
+  (bar . WIDTH)        display a bar cursor with width WIDTH
+  others       display a box cursor.

 ** The variable open-paren-in-column-0-is-defun-start controls whether
 an open parenthesis in column 0 is considered to be the start of a
 defun.  If set, the default, it is considered a defun start.  If not
