The make cursor visible and make cursor invisible statements allow you to control the visibility of the text cursor. The text cursor of a textual region is, by default, invisible. When it is made visible, it appears as a rectangle surrounding the character position on which it lies. You can use these statements for a textual region or for a class of textual regions; for example:

response to Edit

    make News cursor visible

response to EnterChanges

    make News cursor invisible

The text cursor is drawn in the foreground color of the textual region unless the cursor is within an area of emphasized text. For example, if the textual region has a red foreground on a black background, the rectangle appears in red. If the text cursor is within an area of emphasized text, the text appears in reverse video, and the rectangle is therefore displayed in the background color - in this example, black.
