Changing the cursor shape works fully in gvim (all platforms) and for height but not width in the Windows console (aka Dos Box). In non-Windows console Vim (for instance in xterm) Vim cannot change the cursor shape, its shape must be set in the underlying console. In all cases the relevant setting is the 'guicursor' option, even in Windows non-GUI Vim. See :help 'guicursor' Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
