Correct for vi/vim, but not ed which has no real concept of a characterwise "insert mode". Rather, "insert mode" is where you enter one line at a time (using whatever your system's line-input function does for cursor display; with behavior possibly modified if you use `rlwrap`) until you finish entering your text by putting a lone period on a line. -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
