In ThinkTank’s paragraph editor, typing a character normally 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.
