making the editor's cursor more visible

I have a really hard time spotting where the flashing cursor is in the Blitz3D editor

I'd love to change it to something more visible.

Is there a way of doing this ?

yeah. edit the ide prefs file (I think its in your Blitz CFG folder). Change blkcursor from 0 to 1. Or if its 1 already, change it to 0.

Sorry for being vague - haven't got Blitz installed!

cool - thanks

are there any other values besides 0 or 1 ?

Not afaik....what you could do though is use HidePointer to remove the cursor fully, and instead use your own in the program...

Except that only removes the mousepointer, not the text caret in the IDE.
