I tried -bg black -cr green -fg yellow.
It is nice and legible but this did not fix the cursor problem.

I type e3pi.  I see a green cursor at lower left where I am supposed to
type in the file name.  I type the file name and hit Enter and there is no
longer any cursor.  I type for a while without a cursor then hit Ctrl-X
and at screen bottom I see Save yn and now the cursor has appeared where
it should be (in the main screen above).  In the meantime, between when I 
hit Enter after file name and when I hit Ctrl-X it was invisible.  I can 
try this again in BL2 with Xvesa tomorrow.  I don't recall any problem 
using the X server (S3) method.  


I don't need to use e3pi from X, but if I use Kermit from X in order to
dial or telnet to a shell account and have a scroll buffer then I cannot
have a cursor in pico.  Perhaps I can set up pine with a different editor
instead.  Also lynx (for webmail).  I could try joe.

I got out of X to telnet and use Pico to write this mail.  The cursor is 
the usual blinking underline, not the steady square of X.
