- Unfortunately, no, not even in the latest incarnation. Sorry.
- I'd really really really _really_ *REALLY* wanted to make Stuart2.4
- have all sorts of color/gray-setting knobs and bells and whistles,
- but unfortunately I never got around to it. Actually, I never got
- around to rewriting the storage and display stuff, which would have
- given me the color/gray-setting for free.
-
- So, now it's passed off to Stuart2.5, which might be Stuart3.0,
- and will most likely be out around Christmas-time. Or at least in
- time for NW Expo (should there be one, and I plan to attend).

- :-(. Unfortunately, not (well, not in my price range :-). You
- mention that you have the Emacs program - that's as close as you'll
- get, for now. If you're willing to spend real money, I believe
- Communicae has a dark gray cursor. Of course, it has its own set
- of faults. I'm not certain about MicroPhone II.
-
- And in either case you'll then miss out on all the Stuart2.4 goodies.
