In ThinkTank’s paragraph editor, typing a character nor-
mally inserts it in your text at the flashing cursor. Giving
the TYPEOVER command puts you in TYPEOVER mode where each
character you type replaces the character at the flashing cur-
sor. If you are accustomed to working on a typewriter or on
some kinds of word processors, you may find TYPEOVER mode to
be more natural than standard insertion mode.
Except for INSERT and SELECT, which terminate TYPEOVER
mode and enter other modes, all of the editing commands
operate in TYPEOVER mode just as they do elsewhere. You can
exit from TYPEOVER mode by pressing ESC.
