Subject: How make Emacs replace highlighted text with next typed characters?
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2008 23:31:12 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <84e4aae8-769f-4200-9d06-f8c8be58276f@z28g2000prd.googlegroups.com> (raw)

How make Emacs replace highlighted text with next typed characters?

When you hightlight text in Emacs and then type new text,
the new text does NOT replace the highlighted text.

How make this happen?  (Most newer GUI editors behave like this.)
