That is called a cursor.

If you are talking about a one-space long horizontal line that 'blinks' when the rest of the screen is all black, that is for a DOS command. Prior to the original Windows, all computers ran from the DOS prompt. For example, to copy a file you needed to go to the DOS prompt and type in a command line and the entire file name. The command line uses switches, e.g. the forward slash \ and spaces between pieces of the command. The way it was written had to be exact. Today, you will find the DOS command prompt under "Run" and type in cmd into the box. Google for "command prompt syntax" for lists of common commands.
