- Hmm, I try lse$docommand( "set right 72") etc in my lse$command file
- but it seems to have no effect.
- Any chance you can post/email me the appropriate lines?

- OK, my qsn was too vague. I understand the distinction between DO
- and ctrl-z effects. In either case I want to be be in insert mode,
- rather than overwrite, at all times. i.e. when I hit DO and type
- a command (w/o hitting return), then realise I've made a mistake, I'd
- like to use the arrow keys and edit the command in INSERT mode. This
- can be done by typing ctrl-A, but I'd like the default to be insert,
- so that I don't have to type ctrl-A every time I hit DO (I almost
- always want to edit either the current command or use command line
- recall) In EVE once you do a ctrl-A it stays in effect until you explicitly
- change it again.
