Dear List, I am posting this message to answer the origianl question about overwriting text. I believe the original poster has a QT keyboard and no QT users have answered this question so far.
As far as I know, there is no overwrite mode for the QT keyboard. You can delete the characters by using control m to delete the previous character, control comma or the delete key to delete the character under the cursor and control with period to delete the next character. You can also delete words by using control j, control k and control l to delete previous current or next word. I've gotten so used to insert mode that I don't think I'd _want an overwrite mode. I think it's a dangerous mode because you can delete extra data while you're typing in new stuff. What I would like to see is a way to automatically switch from upper case to lower case. For example, suppose you typed some text with caps lock turned on and you want to change the text to lower case without having to retype it. If you had such a command, then you could block the text and use the switch command to change the text from upper case to lower case. Terri Pannett, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
