Win Oberon/F annoyance -- the cursor!

Boy, it has been very quiet on the Oberon/F list lately, hasn't it? I hope I
haven't been unsubscribed!

One of the users of a Windows 95 application I wrote and distribute within
Boeing just complained about the way the cursor works in an Oberon/F text
view. When using the space bar repeatedly to insert several spaces, the
cursor completely dissappears, so there is no way to tell when you should
stop spacing. I notice that in other Windows applications, the cursor always
stays visible, so this appears to be an Oberon/F-specific problem. Is there
a workaround for this? Also, is there a workaround to make the cursor a
little more bold and non-blinking, like most other Windows applications?

Thanks in advance,
