To be fair, its not a major problem... holding down the [delete] key  
works fine - been using that for years.

However, it would be nice to have a string of 50 spaces (between the  
comment marks), then as you type, it replaces them, keeping the  
character count to 50... if it could be done, then it opens a few  
more possible snippets I would like to try.

One alternative is to just remember to flip into "Edit > Mode >  
Overwrite Mode".

Thanks for the replies so far... and sorry about the stuff which will  
follow this.
