  16. Overstrike mode is a hassle, as Dorothy Day attests. In addition to setting a
  17. beep to warn one that a character has been overstruck, it is also possible to
  18. set overstrike so that separators -- spaces, punctuation, etc -- are never
  19. overwritten. That way one never loses more than a word.
