Cursor options
Click the Allow blinking cursor checkbox if you want your host cursor to blink.
Your cursor can blink as an underscore or a block.
You can specify this in the Screen option of the Session Properties dialog box.
Blinking text options
- Select how you want to display text with the blink attribute by doing one of the following:
- Click the Blinking Text radio button if you want all fields with the blink attribute to blink.
- Click the Host Color radio button if you want all the fields with the blink attribute to
stop blinking and display the default host color for that field.
- Click the Mapped Color radio button if you want all the fields with the blink attribute to stop blinking
and display the field in the selected (mapped) color.
- For Java 1 browsers, select a new color by clicking the desired color in the color bar.
To customize an exact color, click the Custom Color icons to set RGB (red, green, and blue)
values.
- For Java 2 browsers, click the Custom Color icons to open the
Custom Color window. This window
provides a variety of color selections capable of producing a range of contrast levels and

hue/saturation/brightness values and/or red/green/blue
values.
