Does vi have such a mode? This sounds much like the virtualedit feature of Vim (":help virtualedit"). If you do ":set virtualedit=all" you can enter replace mode by pressing "R" then use the arrow keys to move the cursor anywhere, and just type characters where you want them. There's also a simple ASCII drawing script on vim.org: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=40 - Christian -- Christian J.
