I'm running into what looks like a bug on Epoch 3.2, patch level 1, running on
a Decstation 3100. The problem is with the function "cursor-color". If I say

(cursor-color "Green" (current-screen))

then, sure enough, I get return value t, and the cursor turns green. But if I
then say 

(cursor-color nil (current-screen))

I get the return value #<X-Cardinal 1>, which seems to be black, for example
if I use it as an argument to cursor-color. I had expected that

(cursor-color (cursor-color nil (current-screen)) (current-screen))

would have no effect. Is this fixed in the second patch?


As a separate issue, the documentation on style stipples seems to me unclear.
For example, it says that for background stipples, "the on bits are displayed
in the screen background and the off bits in the text background". It took
me a while to figure out that the "text background" was the style
background color and the "screen background" was the background color in
the absence of
a style. Also, it says that for the text stipple, "on bits are displayed in
the text foreground and the off bits are displayed in the text background",
when what seems to happen is that off bits force display in the background
color, whereas on bits are displayed as they would be without the stipple. In
other words, it seems that the text stipple is pixelwise ANDed with the
displayed characters. Is this the intended behavior?
