If you use a Concept 100, I would appreciate your opinion on the following issue: when in CRT oriented programs such as vi, should the cursor be an underscore or a block? The current state of affairs is that in reverse video, it's left an underscore, but in normal video it becomes a block. The disadvantage to the underscore is it can be hard to find the cursor in the middle of the screen. The disadvantage to the block is that it blanks out the character it's on top of half the time. With your preference, please indicate what terminal name you use now (e.g. c100-rv, c108, etc). If there is an overwhelming majority, there will be variations for all common exceptions, e.g. c100-uc for underscore cursor or c100-bc for block cursor. If there is a 50-50 split I'll probably just pick the way I like, since I'm not about to double the number of concept entries. If you have a good reason (other than it's just what you're used to) please include that.
