The Tandy 100 Text program is set in the insert mode--and I have long been
accustomed, in the word-processing programs I've been using on desktops, to
working in the writeover mode (where, as you type over an existing line, the
earlier words are not forced perpetually to the right and down, but instead
disappear under the new words). I have heard that several programs generally
available can, at the writer's request, substitute the writeover mode for the
insert mode on the Tandy 100. Does anyone on the Net (or reachable from it)
know of such programs?
1. Are there any in the Public Domain? If so. where can they be reached?
2. Are such programs reasonably easy to patch? Can anyone tell me how to
patch them? (There's no debug program available for the Tandy 100; I imagine
therefore I would need the correct values to poke and the address or addresses
to poke.)
I really love this little machine and find it terribly handy in all sorts
of writerly ways, but I just cannot function permanently in the insert mode.
Help. Please.
