My system only shows a cursor on the top line of the screen. When that line is not active for input, there's no cursor. This adds a certain adventure to otherwise mundane text editing. 8-) I get a blinking block following a "clear" or when I first invoke vi. Once I leave the top line though, bye bye cursor. I haven't noticed any of the other video problems mentioned elsewhere. I'm running a 486/33 with 4MB RAM and a Trident 9000 VGA card with 512K. Can anyone offer a clue for me? Thanks, Eric Bushnell bushnell@post.its.mcw.edu
