Do word processors with GUIs usually have such a menu item? Microsoft Word has it as a user preference option, which is hidden among a number of general options, and which is used to choose if the default mode is insert or overwrite. Other than that, the only way to activate/deactivate overwrite mode is by pressing [Insert]. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
