! The way to display the cursor.  The legitimate values are @code{bar},

! specifies an ordinary black box overlaying the character after point;

! between characters as the cursor.  @code{(bar . @var{width})}
! specifies a bar @var{width} pixels wide.  The symbol @code{hbar}
! specifies a horizontal bar, an underscore-like cursor.  @code{(hbar .
! @var{width})} specifiles a horizontal bar @var{width} pixels high.

+ @defvar blink-cursor-alist
+ This variable specifies how to blink the cursor.  Each element has the
+ form @code{(@var{on-state} . @var{off-state})}.  Whenever the cursor
+ type equals @var{on-state} (comparing using @code{equal}), Emacs uses
+ @var{off-state} to specify what the cursor looks like when it blinks
+ ``off''.  Both @var{on-state} and @var{off-state} should be suitable
+ values for the @code{cursor-type} frame parameter.
+ 
+ There are various defaults for how to blink each type of cursor,
+ if the type is not mentioned as an @var{on-state} here.  Changes
+ in this variable do not take effect immediately, because the variable
+ is examined only when you specify a cursor type for a frame.
