I have a user that wants the block (input cursor) to blink in a shelltool,
"just like on my real terminal". Of course, they mean the solid block that
you see in the input-focused (active) window.

(I find this to a dubious feature, myself, but, Hey, its not my
environment, who am I to impose anything on anyone else.)

I can't find anything in any of the docs I have looked in, so obviously I
looked in the wrong place :-)

Does anyone know how to make the block blink?

Thanks,
