If you mean a typeover capability, try a capital r, or a lowercase to
replace a single letter.  If that's not what you mean, then I'm confused.

I haven't figured out a simple way to do that in vi, either, but then I've
never really tried that hard.  Are there any _good_ word-processing
programs for X?  Programs that are more like... Mac word processors?  I'm
about to get X running on a MkLinux box (not my 7100, on foreign language
dept's 7600, as soon as support for PCI systems is available).  Granted,
this isn't a MkLinux list, but I figure X is X is X, pretty much.  :-)
