Disable Overwrite in the Command Prompt
« on: April 26, 2009, 09:45:20 AM »
If you have used any Microsoft Office program before, you know what Overwrite is. About a month ago, I could enter letters/numbers/characters into the middle of text at the command prompt...but now for some reason I can't...is there any way to disable overwrite?

    Insert button toggles the inserting of Characters to the Replacing of Characters.  ;)
    If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows...

    Thats why Bill Gates created the Windows NT Family.
