Firstly, thanks to ALL of you who took time out on this holiday
to answer my (pretty dumb) question!
I'm certain this is one of those things I knew clearly, say, as
few years ago as ten, but getting old sucks.
OF COURSE the app looks to the terminal for its cursor policy,
and OF COURSE my terminal (mintty running in cygwin -- LONG
story) also lacked a block cursor.
Try to look in:
ESC[1 q or ESC[2 q might solve your problem (there is a space before q).
Hope this helps,
Loïc
Thank you all. You people are just great, but maybe I'm feeling
that on account of all the time I've had to spend with my wife's
family over the holidays. <wink><wink><nudge><nudge>
