First create the cursor as usual.

Then look at the help for CURSORSETPROP. You can pass several parameters, but the first parameter is the property of the cursor you want to set. You will need to set several properties including Tables (the tables you will be updating), UpdatableFieldList (the fields that you want to be able to update), KeyFieldList (which fields are key values so the update can find the right record to update), UpdateType, and WhereType. There may be some other options you want to set, but I think this is the core set. Basically it sets the same properties that you would set visually when you design a View.
