I could if I could make it work. I have had the same desire for a while, but
I really couldn't seem to trace down all the functions involved (course, I
didn't give it but a half-hearted attempt)
It seems that most of the code that writes bitmaps to the screen can be traced
back to functions named grf_write and grf_writealigend (forgive the
punctuation), but I can't find the code that erases blank space on the screen,
and I thus can't get it to work. Also, when I modify the aforementioned
functions the mouse cursor has a bad habit of not adequately disappearing. :)
Beyond that, a body really shoudl modify digraph and kbd stuff so that there
is a command key combiantion to turn this on and off. Perhaps Valiterri could
point me in the right direction of the code in dt.
