use any good Image Editor program.
GIF Animator, PhotoShop (ImageReady) being the biggie/costly options but you can search for free ones also. They exist.

The best way is to do it with a GIF editor. You would need two frames. One with a "|" graphic and one without one. If you don't want a graphic, you could try something like this, but the only flaw is when the user clicks somewhere else, they would need to click back on this "invisible input box" to see the blinking cursor. This is the simplest way to do it. It's better to go with an animated GIF.

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
 function setFocus() {
  document.someform.blinkcursor.focus(); 
 }
</script>
<style>
 input.cursor { 
  /* makes the inputbox borders disappear */
  border:none; 
 }
</style>
</head>
<body onLoad="setFocus()">
<form name="someform">
 The following is a blinking cursor <input type="text" class="cursor" size="1" maxlength="0" name="blinkcursor">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Does not work in Internet Explorer and AOL Browsers. I'm pretty sure its Netscape proprietary and I think it's deprecated as it is.
