Sorry for the late reply; as you can see, I'm behind in reading and
answering mail.
I don't know the answer. Anyway, I suppose <Esc>|nnf (where nn is a
number) is a code peculiar to gvim, meaning "flash the whole display for
nn milliseconds (default 20)". What you want is something else, and I
don't know if it's possible, namely, save cursor, move cursor, set
flashing, move cursor forward, unset flashing, wait, move cursor back,
unset flashing, restore cursor. How to do it may depend on the terminal,
or (in Console mode only) you may be able to construct it from other
termcap codes.
Best regards,
Tony.
