Re: Emacs cursor turns into a vertical line

No change - same vertical bar cursor.

The value of w32-use-visible-system-caret is t.

So I executed this:

>   (setq w32-use-visible-system-caret nil)

Holy Moley!!!! That fixed the problem.  The old cursor is back!

So am I all set now?  All I need to do is add that statement to
the startup macros?

Or if not, is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks for your help.
