Does this Tk code do what you want? Try running it
in the wish shell installed in the sn bin dir.

text .t
pack .t
.t configure -bg black -fg green
.t configure -insertbackground green

If that is what you wanted, then you will need
to either hack that "$text configure -insertbackground green"
bit into the source code or set the proper X resource
for it.

There is no preferences option for the text insert
cursor color, we really should add one. Anyone
feel like taking a stab at adding a preferences
option for the text insertion cursor?
