Dear Leslie,

Misery loves company! But I don't understand your message.

1.) Do you mean to say that XyWin's insert/overstrike message drops
unexpectedly out of your command, too?

2.) That without giving the command, regular overstrike turns into "smart"
overstrike, i.e., reverting to insert mode when it encounters a space?
