Thanks for the feedback, folks. No, I don't have an Insert key either :( Anyone know how to emulate the Insert key on a PowerMac G4 with OS X 10.2.3 and Apple X11? BTW, I use overtype mode to do ASCII guitar tablature. I start with blank tablature and use the arrow keys to navigate around the tablature form and I can very conveniently fill in the notes in overtype mode. Works great, and if I could get it to work in abiword, I could dump MS Word. Here's a short tablature example: C 1 | | | | 2 | | | | 3 |-3-5-3-0-3-5-3-0-|-3-5-3---0-------| |-----------------|-------4---1-----| |-----------------|-------------2-0-| |-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------| -Bo Parker [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Meet Singles http://corp.mail.com/lavalife ----------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
