Does it work on any system? and Kai wrote: I just did M-: (sleep-for 10) RET and observed that the mouse pointer changed to something which looks like a watch. Does this mean it works for me using this Debian woody GNU/Linux system? Fails for me when I turn off blink-cursor-mode. However, the the mouse pointer does change when I have blink-cursor-mode set to t (i.e., the cursor blinks). I am running a Debian woody GNU/Linux system, updated a few minutes ago, 2002 Jul 16 16:04 UTC; using today's CVS snapshot of 2002 Jul 16 15:53 UTC, GNU Emacs 21.3.50.104 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit). First, on starting Emacs with no blinking cursor with the command: emacs -q --no-site-file --eval '(blink-cursor-mode 0)' I did M-: (sleep-for 10) RET and continued to see my mouse pointer as is; no change. Second, on starting Emacs with the command: emacs -q --no-site-file which produces a blinking cursor. (I hate that blinking cursor. Why do people want to punish themselves so?) When evaluating (sleep-for 10), the mouse pointer changed to something which looks like a watch. -- Robert J. Chassell bob@rattlesnake.com Rattlesnake Enterprises http://www.rattlesnake.com
