I saw this is the VWS 3.3/4.0 user's guide while flipping through it last
week.  I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but it's worth a try.
Try definining the logical UIS$VT_FAST_SUSPEND (in the SYSTEM table)
to be true.  Appendix B, page 5 of the VWS user's guide states:

   Fast suspend is an optimization for GPX system that can reduce the
   time it takes for a CTRL/S to take effect.  When this is enabled, the
   cursor will not blink during the CTRL/S.  NOTE: There is no benefit to
   using this on a VAXstation I, VAXstation II, or QVSS-based system.

In playing with these logicals, one usually has to create a _new_
window for them to take effect.  If you're only running VWS 3.2, give
it a shot.  I'm running 3.2 on my VS2000 and live icons and copy/paste
(undocumented features in 3.2) work great.

Good luck
