cannot turn of blinking cursor in prefs

You can switch between blinking and still cursor under System-->Preferences-->Keyboard. Under General tab uncheck "Cursor Blinking". This change will efect the behaviour in all applications. Or in "Abiword" do the same under Edit-->Preferences.

Stanlong,
did You ask something You need to be answered? Or You just played? Or You don't know what to ask?

it was a serious Q
the cursor blinks at a rate find irritating
the way I have found to deal with it in other sys is to place the cursor off
screen when I read or what ever
