"NO, the XOR cursor is the method of drawing the cursor…you XOR the background to turn off pixels that are on, and turn on pixels that are off (reverse video it). It is must useful with a block cursor that sits ontop of other text." OK, I get it. Like for a backspace that still shows the character under the cursor. And somebody was actually granted a patent for this? Just goes to show how lame our patent laws are. // John (Speeding on the Information Superhighway) \X/ Mercury@ins.infonet.net
