Search this newsgroup for details on SmartInsert
To change the editor to the different modes, hit the "Insert" key

I forgot my password and can't search the archive anymore...I tried to hit
the "Insert", there are 3 modes. Both SmartInsert and Insert mode use the
same mouse cursor "[". I just want to change the cursor back to normal.

Hmm, after I disabled the overwrite mode, the cursor for insert mode
returned to normal. And it remains "|" in insert mode even if I turn on the
overwrite mode again...I'm confused but I am happy now.
