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?
