What's the command to show text on any Xwindow that makes the text flashing / blinking ???
hmm, are you talking bt flashing text in a console window. what shell do you intend to use.
what i do is, I set the variables in env as shown below, and then output text as
echo $VAR1 $TEXT $NORMAL
The variables i set are as follows.
