No warning here.

Tried M-x blink-cursor-mode -- got no error msg, also got no change. I
couldn't get it to take an arg, i.e. -1 (non-positive nr).
I went to .emacs and added:
(blink-cursor-mode) <-- to see if would toggle
(blink-cursor-mode -1)
(blink-cursor-mode nil)
(setq blink-cursor-mode -1)
(setq blink-cursor-mode nil)
None of these worked. No error msgs. (Yep, I remembered to save, exit
emacs, and restart each time.)
I'm not an emacs/elisp programmer so probably not doing this right.
Corrections?
