The text you enter will appear at the pointer. In insertion mode, the new text is inserted into the existing text, the existing text is automatically pushed back to follow the new text. In overwrite mode, the new text overwrites the existing text. The following keys automatically scroll the window to keep the pointer in view when it is necessary.
