Known bugs and problems:

    -In order to implement the overwrite mode it was necessary to substitute
     the "<Key>:" entry in the translation table of the textwidget without
     changing the position of this entry in the table. This is not possible
     with the Xt/Xaw toolkit functions. The only way to do it is to replace
     the complete translation table. This translation table may change with
     newer X Releases. In fact it has already changed from X11R5 to X11R6
     which is the reason why you have to execute "make old" for older
     X Releases. So the implementation depends on the release number of the
     textwidget.
