It is currently set to t. But I just discovered something else. If I open a shell window, the cursor is down at the end of the prompt, and I hit the cntrl key (nothing else), the cursor toggles on and off almost 100% of the time. Sometimes it stays on if on or off it it was off, but I'd guess 98% of the time it toggles on and off.....huuummmm???? BTW, it STAYS off until I type something. Aha! I just tried the same in this *mail* buffer. Same thing happens. Aha Aha! I just tried the same in this *mail* buffer with the shift key. *Same thing happens*. But now I realize my cursor is not blinking at all. Just stays solid. So I just set the blink-cursor to nil. Same thing here too. Does any of this help? I did not notice this in v 21.1.... Wait a second, I'll try it right now in 21.1... 21.1 cursor blinks. I can not get it to go away.
