I'm not sure what you mean, but try "edit" (in DOS) and learn how to use
the "Insert" key.

I don't know if it's the best but I really like EditPad.

http://www.jgsoft.com/editpad.shtml

It's shareware but the price is right. It only costs you a postcard from
your hometown.

I like Editpad too.  I believe "Jones"  was talking about overwriting.
You can toggle that function in Editpad by hitting the insert key.

Three programs that will do that are QEdit, TheDraw and AcidDraw.

I think he was talking about how in MSDOS Edit you can just click at a
point on the screen without typing tons of spaces like in Notepad. :)

The absolutely best I know www.notetab.com
Choose the light version, if you wouldn't want to pay.

I think the other problem solves when you press insert and start typing

     Yes, TheDraw and AcidDraw (both are DOS programs but work well in full
screen and windowed).

     QEdit can do it too, but it is a little less fancy, you have to be running
the program in a windowed state and select copy from the window menu after
hilighting (actually, to do that in the other two from one program to another
you have to do that in a window mode too, but if it is just within the same
file in the same program you can block copy/paste anywhere in the document with
full screen instead of just the portion of the window that is showing on the
screen).

     The only thing is, I believe TheDraw (and AcidDraw maybe) will not allow
you to run it in multiple windows, but QEdit will let you run several versions
of it at the same time.

|Yes, but how to do it in windows??

TextPad <http://www.textpad.com/> does this. It also has insert/overwrite,
block copy-paste and loads more... it's my text editor of choice for ASCII
Art and programming.
