Yes, I mean, I never did that (select and type) but _if_ I did I would expect that to happen. Because what else should happen and for what reason do you select and type, if not to replace? If you want to type at the beginning of the selection why don't you just move point there and type, without selecting anything to begin with? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
