[BRLTTY] How to programmatically do a blinking cursor and/or blinking cells?

[Willie Walker]

Thanks!  This will help me from needing to dig further.  :-)  While I'm
on the subject of blinking cursors, I'm still not sure how to set it in
a configuration/preferences file.  That is, from the docs, it seems as
though I can enable blinking as a general BrlTTY preference, but I'm not
quite sure how to do it.  Do you have an example?
