My apologise for forgetting to mention that I'm using SN4.5.2 on an NT
workstation.

Does this Tk code do what you want? Try running it
in the wish shell installed in the sn bin dir.

text .t
pack .t
.t configure -bg black -fg green
.t configure -insertbackground green

If that is what you wanted, then you will need
to either hack that "$text configure -insertbackground green"
bit into the source code or set the proper X resource
for it.

There is no preferences option for the text insert
cursor color, we really should add one. Anyone
feel like taking a stab at adding a preferences
option for the text insertion cursor?

But your other applications must have problems with black cursors, too.
We have no control of the cursor color on NT.

Are you running the NT version of SN, or are you running a UNIX version
on another machine and using an NT XServer?

Does this Tk code do what you want? Try running it
in the wish shell installed in the sn bin dir.

text .t
pack .t
.t configure -bg black -fg green
.t configure -insertbackground green

bit into the source code or set the proper X resource
