DOS >_ symbol for inputs

Would it be possible to style the text input field to look like the old DOS style, i.e >_ - where the underscore is blinking? I already know how to hide the borders/background for the input field and how to use autofocus, but the symbols are a bit beyond me.

I found this, but wouldn't know how to adapt it for Twine: stackoverflow

    The Stack Overflow Q/A you linked isn't terribly useful at this point. You may simply use a keyframe animation for the blinking pseudo-caret. The real issue here is getting the animated pseudo-caret to mirror the actual input text caret. I believe there is a way, but it escapes me at the moment.

    Okay, thank you. As I say it's beyond me, but I had assumed the main problem would be getting the thing to actually function as a text input.
