In xview the PANEL_TEXT item is always in the insert mode ( i.e. when you
type anything at the caret, the rest of the items shifts towards right in
order to accomodate what you type). What I want is the ability to overwrite
the text on the panel-item instead of inserting (just as when you would use 'R'
in "vi" when in the escape mode). 

Any ideas or suggestions
Thanks
skdutta


PS - Please reply only be e-mail. I will be accessing it from a place which does
not support rn.
