CLI Blinking curser gone

[Mark T. Valites]

Try taking a look at the Text-Terminal-How-To at linuxdoc.org.  You may
have to use tset or look at TERMCAP settings also. Check out /etc/termcap
too.  Maybe even termcap & terminfo if you have them install.

This may do something like it too for tcsh:

set e=`echo x | tr x \\033`"
set prompt="${e}[5mroot${e} [0m@`uname -n`# "

to get a prompt like:

root@hostname.com# (with blinking "root")

The \\033 is an escape sequence, which you can normally generate manually
with the "ESC" key or CNTRL-[ (someone correcy me if wrong...)

The [5m is the blinking part & [0m turns all attributes off.

Those lines are straight from the O'Reilly Power tools book, a must have
in my opinion.  O'Reilly also has a termcap & terminfo book, but I doubt
it's worth picking up - maybe just a quick peek at the store to get what
you need.
