A followup:

I've been trying to assign an "Insert" key in Apple's X11 on a Mac G4 running Mac OS 
10.2.3.

Thanks to a tip from an abiword mailing list subscriber (thank you!), I've been trying 
to use the xmodmap command to do this.

I had tried

  $ xmodmap -e "keycode 121 = Insert"
 
to assign Insert to the F15 key (keycode 121), but it didn't work. 

Thanks to a tip from an Apple X11 mailing list subscriber (thank you!), I used the xev 
command to see what X11 "sees" when I pressed various keys. It turns out that F15 (and 
F14 and F13) aren't detected at all in xev. F12 was detected (keycode 119), so I tried 

  $ xmodmap -e "keycode 119 = Insert"
  
Bingo. F12 successfully switches abiword to "Overtype" mode.

Thanks to all for your help!
