I don't understand the question.

Are you talking about highlighting the text between point and mark? If so 
you need to be in X and use the transient mark mode under Options. It's on 
your menu bar. It doesn't work in the console mode.

There are also various options under Options for the cursor itself. Plus 
there's a setting to highlight the line your cursor is on.

Hope I've been helpful here. But maybe I'm entirely off base.
