Sorry, I know where the misunderstanding came in.  I was trying to say
that I originally learned Emacs at the console.  I don't use it there
anymore.  However, whether on the console or off, the default cursor
has always been solid while off text, box with reverse video while
over.

I'm running Emacs.app (GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.5.0,
*Step 9.0rc3)) at home on my Mac and the default windows binary
download at work (I believe that's 22).
