It is not the blinking that bothers me. Its the impossibility of reading

Someone asked me to post if I found anything interesting on this thread.
I already posted that potentially my problem with "colored ls's" exists
because of protection issues when moving a cygwin file to a fedora box.
Well, I am still waiting for Best Buy to return my primary Linux box
(online they claim its been fixed and is heading back to the store which
supports my theory that it is a hardware, and potentially HP, whatever-up).
But I did notice tonight when trying to move a cygwin directory to a
backup F14 box that 1) I am definitely seeing representational issue
with how cygwin gets permissions and 2) a broken link on a Fedora box
show up as red on black .. no blinking (I am tempted to caps that bit).
I might be dealing with a cygwin ssh view of a fedora box (you might
gather that I don't have visual access to the fedora box ... lean times
require lean setups which I do hope to change by begiining of the new year).
But, I need an example from the community of a "ls" showing a blinking
item to understand why it might make sense.
Best,
Paul
