I think maybe what you are trying to say is, how do you reply and have the things you type appear along with (and among) the text of the message you are replying to. Is that it? OK. After you hit reply, you should get a box where you type your reply. Inside that box, near the lower left, there is an ellipsis (three dots, like this: "..."). Click on that. This action should "open up" the text of the message to which you are replying. You can move the cursor to within that text, and type wherever you position the cursor. There is a keyboard shortcut that does the same thing as clicking on the ellipsis: Ctrl-Shift-A (hold down the "Ctrl" key AND the 'Shift" key AND press the "A" key). Unfortunately, there's no way to have the previous text always automatically open when you start a reply. It is necessary to either click on the ellipsis, or to press ctrl-shift-A.
