Re: Thanks! and new blinking issue.

I read in the man page: It suggests that column separators
don't work with curses and blinking doesn't work with xterm.

I assume xt5250 is an ncurses app in xterm.
Does that mean no hope on either of those attributes?
Or is there a terminal emulator I can switch to for blinking
and not screw up something else?

Ick. You really want blinking? Of course there are other emulators that support blinking (client access being the most obvious). The tn5250j project might support blinking - I don't know. I don't know of any 5250 emulators that run on unix besides tn5250 and tn5250j.

You could also work on gtk5250 and add support there...
