Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Insertmode («insertmode»)
 
     Toggles between insert mode and overtype mode. If overtype mode is
     on, the letter O appears on the status bar. The cursor can also
     change shape, depending on the Cursormode switch. See: Cursormode
 
     In insert mode, each character you type is inserted at the cursor.
     This insertion shifts the remainder of the line one position to
     the right.
 
     In overtype mode, the character you type replaces the character at
     the cursor.
 
     Returns
 
     True:  PWB is in insert mode.
     False: PWB is in overtype mode.
