Yes, verified. Clerk interviewed on camera, everything.

Since most software doesn't have a blinking cursor, I'm at a loss about that one. Either they made it up, or he was using DOS--funny way to write a "suicide" note, eh?

It is a very cinematic description of the scene.

Even Roger Ebert has compiled it in his book of movis-ism. It is still seen today even when it is not the common method of text editing anymore.

Yup.

Except for DOS prompt, notepad, MS Word, this FR message composition box, etc.

I agree the story sounds very convenient...but FWIW I have a blinking cursor in every program that allows typing, and I would guess you do, too.
