Syntax
query cursor.blinkTime

query current.cursor.blinkTime
query default.cursor.blinkTime
set default.cursor.blinkTime [ install | 0 | n ]
query install.cursor.blinkTime 
Parameters

default If you specify the default parameter for the set cursor.blinkTime command, the current view uses the value of default.cursor.blinkTime to blink the cursor.
0 Specify 0 as the parameter for the set cursor.blinkTime command to prevent the cursor from blinking in the current view. Specify 0 as the parameter for the set default.cursor.blinkTime command to prevent the cursor from blinking in all the document views that have cursor.blinkTime set to default.
n If you specify the n parameter for the set cursor.blinkTime command, the current view will use n milliseconds as the time interval to blink the cursor. If you specify the n parameter for the set default.cursor.blinkTime command, all document views that have cursor.blinkTime set to default will use n milliseconds as the cursor blink time interval.

n must be an integer value between 200 and 1200.
install If you specify the install parameter for the set default.cursor.blinkTime command, all views with cursor.blinkTime set to default will use the value of install.cursor.blinkTime to determine the cursor blink time interval.

Description
