You can add a line to your xbasic/templates/property.xxx file. The property.xxx file contains the various grid function properties to be used on start-up. To change the cursor color, you would change the dull color property for all XuiTextArea grids, including the PDE lower TextArea. xb XuiTextArea XuiSendMessage (TextLower, #SetColorExtra, $$White, -1, -1, -1, 0, 0) The color is XORed to the screen backgound color, so the color you see will be different from what you specify. I use a blue background, and a $$White cursor is actually yellow while a $$LightYellow value will display a blue cursor on a white background.
