I am a new user and tried to modify my TextMate. But I am unfamiliar with unix and clearly made a mess. For example, my TextMate cursor has changed into a small horizontal bar and I can only modify text, not enter new text with it. I often lose the find window, too. It just does not show up and mysteriously comes back every once in a while. I restarted, rebooted, installed a new copy of TextMate, even erased the usr/local/bin/mate file. The problems persist. How can I get restore the default?

You have activated Overwrite Mode. You can toggle it on/off with Edit -> Mode -> Overwrite Mode.

Command - F should always bring it right to you. Is that not working?

Delete "~/Library/Application Support/TextMate" and "~/Library/ Preferences/com.macromates.textmate.plist", that should get you back to the "factory defaults".
To learn more about TM I recommend watching the screencasts: http:// macromates.com/screencasts
HTH!
