If you tell vim that it's "linux" when it is really cons25, that confuses it. A "linux" console recognizes an particular escape sequence ending with "25h" for making the cursor visible (ending with "25l" for invisible). vim likes to use that. cons25 doesn't support it. As noted in vim's manpage, the -T option should be used only if the automatic way (setting $TERM correctly) doesn't work. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
