Well, I'm happy to use some other sort of highlighting instead of
blinking, but I can't agree about the full-screen crosshair. One of the
things that I miss in X is the ability to have such a cursor (yes, I
could make my own with XOR but...) --- very handy for graphics when you
want to know the coordinates of _that_ point, or put a horizontal line
just between _that_ pair for a monment. One of the few nice things about
SunView (and Tek 401?'s).
