Read the manual for your terminal. mc doesn't change the color of the
cursor. I don't even see capabilities for changing the cursor color in
"man terminfo", although it lists a capability to make the cursor "very
visible".

Yes. There is no "#define" equivalent for the syntax rules yet.

Documentation for SSH Secure shell 2.3. You may want to try TeraTerm or
putty.
