EVE CHANGE_MODE — VMS 5.0

 CHANGE MODE

 Changes ("toggles") the mode for entering text in the current buffer --
 either insert or overstrike -- as shown in the status line.

 o  The mode of the buffer affects the commands DELETE, ERASE CHARACTER,
    and RESTORE CHARACTER, and similar EDT and WPS keypad functions.

 o  For editing text, the default is INSERT MODE.  For typing commands, the
    mode matches your terminal setting.

        defines CTRL/A and ENTER (on the keypad).
