I was first thinking that maybe he had gotten into overwrite-mode.

Now, I'd never hear do delete-selection-mode, so I did a C-h f on it:

|  delete-selection-mode is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `delsel'.
|  (delete-selection-mode &optional arg)
|  
|  Toggle Delete Selection mode.
|  With prefix arg, turn Delete Selection mode on if and only if arg is
|  positive.
|  
|  When Delete Selection mode is enabled, Transient Mark mode is also
|  enabled and typed text replaces the selection if the selection is
|  active.  Otherwise, typed text is just inserted at point regardless of
|  any selection.


Question: what are some of the uses of this mode?  Maybe name 2 or 3 uses,
so I can understand if it's something I should get familiar with.

THANKS!

David
