Regarding Typeover Mode:
I use Typeover Mode when I need to replace text in a document with something
new. If the new information is longer than what I want to delete, I switch
back to Insert Mode in the space before the text I want to keep. Using the
two modes of typing saves a separate step to delete the text I don't want to
keep.

Hello everyone!
I am writing a book on 'Writing with Computers' and I wonder
if anybody has experience of using Typeover [or Insert] mode.
It seems a potentially useful tool, but I've never come across
anyone who uses it. Any observations would be welcome.
