Look at the cursor before you enter text before or after an insert. If it's a
thick line, then any typing will change the insert. If the cursor is thin, then
it's not part of the insert and you're safe to add text.

that has focus or if you are editing INSIDE the control, but if you

I try the arrow keys as well, but sometimes I can't get it to work, so I delete
everything and start again, adding the Title insert last of all.
I also get problems with text boxes not remembering carriage returns between
inserts, so I get the lyricist and composer on one long line instead of tw
