	AIUI, there’s nothing wrong with using “which” there, either.

	Personally, I find “that” sentences somewhat harder to read
	/in general./  I still hope someone with English skills better
	than mine could re-check these cases and apply the changes
	suggested where sensible.

 > So please submit a patch without those parts.

	ACK.

	Indeed, I stand corrected.  (Though it’s X Window /S/ystem.)

	The former recipe seems to predate the introduction of
	visible-cursor.  I see no reason to keep it now that there’s an
	easy way to solve the issue without having to modify terminfo or
	restart Emacs, etc.  I presume that the more experienced users
	will be able to gather all what necessary for a terminfo-based
	solution from the “use software cursor” recipe just above the
	one at hand.
