    hI,

    i THINK IT'S GOOD TIME TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM ins?ovr. iT IS REALLY
    CONFUSING FOR NON-ENGLISH INTERFACES, because in most cases keyboards
    have an eNGLISH shotcuts. i SUGGEST TO ADD SOME
    GRAPHICS-ICON. fOR EXAMPLE RED LED FOR ovr AND GREEN FOR ins.

    Andrzej

    It seems like this happens to just about everyone at least once (and from
    then on you are duty bound to help and explain it to anyone else in the
    same situation, as i have done many times)

    The status bar shows either INS or OVR to show which mode you are in,
    although i dont think that is really much use.

    Please take a look at my suggestions here and I would love to see what you
    think.

    If anyone has a Usability lab and can help me devise a thorough usability
    study of Insert/Overwrite i would love to hear from you.

    Sincerely
