Help: how to make typing effect with a blinking cursor?

Hi,
I'm trying to have some text typed out on the screen with a blinking cursor at the end of the text as it's being typed out.
I try the "type on" effect, but couldn't figure out how to do the blinking cursor effect. Is there a plug in out there for that?
Thanks.

Ooh! Ooh!
You can use a MIDI input to control almost anything in Motion. I haven't got one but it looks like you can directly control the blinking and movement of the cursor with some clever MIDI work.
I can't figure it out myself yet, but it also looks like you could control the progress of the type-on effect with a MIDI input. Banging on a piano key for each character.
