there is no parameter to apropos that will cause it to display more
than 2 lines of all found items. if you want the full story you must
click each item.
And, there ought to be the more familiar search engine style searching
also available:
Search: cursor blink
which one currently must do
(apropos "apropos cursor.*blink\\|blink.*cursor" nil)
etc. to try to emulate.
Also, this apropos extract
----------------------
blink-cursor-interval
Variable: *Length of cursor blink interval in seconds.
Plist: standard-value variable-documentation custom-tag custom-type
custom-requests
blink-cursor-interval:
blink-cursor-mode M-x blink-cursor-mode RET
Command: Toggle blinking cursor mode.
----------------------
isn't very intuitive at the "blink-cursor-interval:" line -- mysteries
for the unordained. there is a nice blank space to the right of it to
put a little "[something]" to indicate what that line is trying to say.
