Has anyone tried to use the transfer mode graphic_COPY tooverwrite
characters in a view without having to first "white out"the old
characters?  For example:

    myview_SetTransferMode(self, graphic_COPY);
    myview_SetFont(self, myFont); /* a fixed width font */
    myview_MoveTo(self, x, y);
    myview_DrawString(self, "LAST",graphic_ATTOP | graphic_ATLEFT);
    myview_DrawString(self, "F",graphic_ATTOP | graphic_ATLEFT);

What I would expect as a result would be "FAST", but what I getis
"EAST".  It seems that graphic_COPY is workinglike OR.  Is this a bug?

Also, can anyone respond to my last post of Oct. 30 on key bindings?  I
wouldappreciate any input you can give me.

Thanks,
