I don’t think making the cursor a vertical line is possible in xterm. It is possible, however, to make it underlined. Just run
xterm -uc.It might be possible to do what you want using another terminal emulator. For example, I use Konsole and I can set the cursor shape to “Block”, “I-Beam” and “Underline”.
