The more intrusive, the worse. A blinking block would be intolerable for me. A steady block I can tolerate. A steady bar (whether vertical or horizontal), thick enough to be clearly seen would be best. > * is cursor blinking a feature you would be inclined to > change during an editing session? if so, how often? No. I'd leave it permanently off (if I could). > * how do the number of frames visible and the blinking affect > your (dis)comfort? (again, looking for correlation info.) The more frames (or other Window system windows) on the screen at a time, the more things that flash, blink, move or explode, the worse it gets for me. That's why I run on console mode with no mouse and one frame, covering the entire screen, visible at a time. > please trim this ...... > thi -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter (like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a"). _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
