enjoy...

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?

How can I change from a blinking underline hardware cursor to a more
visible square cursor so I can find the cursor on my laptop, especially
with a slow internet connection where it can take 10 sec for the cursor to
respond to a keystroke?

All I could find was someone's C++ program to change cursor color and
blinking and shape, where they commented that this would be useful for
finding cursors on laptops. This was for 'linux 1.0 or 2.0'. I hope BL
already has some way to change cursors.

Mac cursors can be set up with a red halo, in GUI mode.
