Hi,

I'm not very good at customizing Emacs (lazy and not very much spare
time) but I wanted to change the colour of the cursor with the following:

(set-cursor-color "red")

I do get the red colour, but if I open a new frame (C-x 5 2) the cursor is
black...

Another request: does anyone have a sample .emacs where the background
colour is black and the syntax is nice... please

I'm using Emacs 21.2.1 on M$ Windoze NT

thanx in advance

d.
