Okay, I tried the FrmSetActive() call, but to no avail. It turns out the
blinky vanishes when I do a FldDeleteField and FldEraseField. For now, I
can live with my workaround. Thanks for the info though.

Maybe this will help. I had a similar problem yesterday, where the
blinky vanished after dismissing a modal dialog. No amount of plausible
FldXxx or FrmXxx calls would make it appear.
Finally found the problem was that I wasn't calling FrmSetActiveForm
when calling FrmDoDialog to pop up the modal dialog. The fix:
FormPtr dialog = FrmInitForm( dialogID );
FormPtr parent = FrmGetActiveForm(); // ADDED THIS LINE
FrmSetActiveForm( dialog ); // ADDED THIS LINE
FrmDoDialog( dialog );
FrmSetActiveForm( parent ); // ADDED THIS LINE
FrmDeleteForm( dialog );
Without those FrmSetActiveForm calls, everything worked fine except for
the blinky disappearing in the parent form. This fixed it.
