If you want to make the cursor not blink, you can try this: Hit the interrupt switch to get into the debugger. Set the longword at location 2F4 to a very large number (say 0FFFFFFF). Exit the debugger. Now enter your favorite word processor. The cursor should now not blink. What you've actually done is set the caret blink time to be very long. The cursor is still blinking, but in ultra slo-motion. Warning: the cursor may disappear with this technique - when it is in the hidden part of the blink cycle. Clicking somewhere should make it come back. You can use the control panel to change this back. Bob Hablutzel BOB@NUACC.ACNS.NWU.EDU
