Because of that I use the blinking box cursor because it stands out from the mass of text. For the same reason I also use M-x hl-line-mode to highlight the line containing the cursor. I'm sure the other cursors work better for other people but this is the best for me. --Rod Author of "Linux for Non-Geeks--Clear-eyed Answers for Practical Consumers" and "Boring Stories from Uncle Rod."
