RE: edit text field

Hi George,

I don't see an easy way to do this for standard edit controls (unless 
you want to capture key presses and manually replace the character 
following the caret with the captured key).

However, if you replace your Edit controls with RichEdit controls, you 
can use the Insert key to toggle between insert and type-over mode.
