It worked perfectly and I am using a blinking white rectangle now in VT3. 
Following instructions I just received from someone in India who joined my 
local bbs, in VT4 I typed echo -e '\033[?17;0;64c' and I have a 
nonblinking red cursor that I can see the white text through.  I will 
experiment to see which is more readable.  I can probably also change the 
text color with tset.

Which parts of the above make the cursor rectangular, blinking or not, and 
red?
