Marie Ziemer: >does anyone know the emacs command >for switching from insert mode >to overwrite mode? assuming you mean GNU Emacs version 18 or 19, this: M-x overwrite-mode RET will toggle overwrite mode. In version 19, this command is bound to the "insert" key, if you have an insert key that Emacs knows about. If you're doing ascii art, you may want to use picture mode instead, which you can invoke with this: M-x edit-picture RET If you plan on doing this often, you can bind this to some keysequence, such as "C-c a" (a for ascii), by putting this: (global-set-key "\C-ca" 'picture-mode) in your ".emacs" file. --
