The capabilities of your terminal are hardware dependent. Take a look at the termcap or terminfo information. Here are some common escape sequences you can use with a vt100 term. For more information on escape sequences and setting your prompt, see this article in O'Reilly's UNIX Power Tools

Code:
ESC[1m Bold, intensify foreground 
ESC[4m Underscore 
ESC[5m Blink 
ESC[7m Reverse video 
ESC[0m All attributes off

From man terminfo:

cursor_normal cnorm ve Make cursor appear
cursor_visible cvvis vs Make cursor very visible
