How does one go about putting their cursor in "overwrite mode"?  Does
it depend on the program you're using, like a word processor?

        _)\    /(_
^v^   _)  /    \  (_
    _)   //\)/\ \   (_
  _)     \(a_a) /     (_
_)        \(oo)/        (_
 )@aol.com /  \@juno.com(
   )_    ( Vamp )    _(
     )_  ( Ladee)  _(   ^v^
       \/(__)(__)\/
