Re: how do i blink text in ksh on solaris 10

/usr/openwin/bin/xterm on Solaris 9 and later is a few years old (not
as ancient as the X11R6.0 version in Solaris 2.6 - 8), but is from the
li18nux.org fork of xterm, so has a different feature set than the
XFree86 xterm of the same vintage.

The XFree86 xterm is available on the Solaris companion CD for those who
prefer that version, though I'm not sure how up to date it is.

Someday when I've got a good asbestos suit on I'll go talk to our i18n
folks again about switching from the li18nux version to the mainstream
xterm, but I'm not looking forward to that fight.
