[...] I think that's the OP's question. FWIW, "my" nano also has a "block cursor". But so does the terminal from which I start nano. @Bob: is that the case for you? Perhaps what you have to do is to change the shape of your terminal's cursor, and nano inherits it. How to do that depends on your terminal. If it's xterm, I could help you look it up :-) Cheers - t
