  Howdy.  Does anyone out there know of a command that will toggle
 (if that's the word for it) the insert mode in emacs.  I.E.  any
 typed text will run over and automatically delete the exsiting text.
 I am assuming, that if such a thing exists, the same command can
 turn it on as well.  If they're different commands, I'd be glad to  
 hear it.  Thanks.
