| Could be! How do I switch it off for the LOGIN screen?
I don't use blinking cursors for DECterms for this reason...
What a concept!

| There is a DECW$LOGIN.DAT in DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS. It
doesn't contain the string "blink" though. It does have
text and/or stext, so maybe there is a customization for
those that you can use. Does the UIL documentation show a
blink on/off or blinkrate (0 for no blink) argument for text
or stext widgets that you can try instead in your copy of
DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:DECW$LOGIN.DAT?

I believe that blinking is turned on by default. So you would have to place
something in DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$LOGIN.DAT to turn it off.
*blinkRate: 0

| Terrific! Works fine. Also seems to stop NOTES and MAIL taking up CPU
when iconised.

| I'm not sure that I understand this blink-rate stuff. I've only
ever noticed "block" cursors blinking, and the only thing that appears
to blink even then is the window that currently has input focus. So
iconified NOTES (etc) can't really be blinking anything.
Is it just that they're continually issuing Xlib calls to blink
something that doesn't actually exist as a visible entity (which takes
up CPU anyway, of course)?
Also, if I do define "*blinkRate: 0" in DECW$XDEFAULTS, then the
DECterm-with-input-focus still has a blinking cursor. Is this
expected?
(Yes, I have logged out -- actually, rebooted several times -- since
adding that line).

| Re: .8
*blinkRate probabably only applies to the simple text widget, not to DECterm.
Try *cursorBlinkEnable: off, or else disable it in Customize Display.
