@cindex mode, Font Lock
@cindex syntax highlighting and coloring
- Font Lock mode is a minor mode, always local to a particular
-buffer, which highlights (or ``fontifies'') using various faces
-according to the syntax of the text you are editing. It can
-recognize comments and strings in most languages; in several
-languages, it can also recognize and properly highlight various other
-important constructs---for example, names of functions being defined
-or reserved keywords.

-@cindex fringes, and empty line indication
- Emacs can indicate empty lines at the end of the buffer with a special
-bitmap in the left fringe of the window (@pxref{Fringes}). To enable
-this feature, set the buffer-local variable @code{indicate-empty-lines}
-to a non-@code{nil} value. The default value of this variable is
-controlled by the variable @code{default-indicate-empty-lines}; by
-setting that variable, you can enable or disable this feature for all
-new buffers. (This feature currently doesn't work on character
-terminals.)
+@cindex unused lines
+@cindex fringes, and unused line indication
+ Emacs can indicate unused lines at the end of the window with a
+small image in the left fringe (@pxref{Fringes}). The image appears
+for window lines that do not correspond to any buffer text. Blank
+lines at the end of the buffer then stand out because they do not have
+this image in the fringe.
+
+ To enable this feature, set the buffer-local variable
+@code{indicate-unused-lines} to a non-@code{nil} value. The default
+value of this variable is controlled by the variable
+@code{default-indicate-unused-lines}; by setting that variable, you
+can enable or disable this feature for all new buffers. (This feature

@cindex cursor, blinking
You can customize the cursor's color, and whether it blinks, using
graphical terminals, the command @kbd{M-x blink-cursor-mode} enables
or disables the blinking of the cursor. (On text terminals, the
terminal itself blinks the cursor, and Emacs has no control over it.)
+You can control how the cursor appears when it blinks off by setting
+the variable @code{blink-cursor-alist}.
