Switch Into and Out of Insert Mode

After the program has typed the data on the screen, you may want to insert characters between the ones already typed. To do this, use the INSERT command. This command, which simulates pressing the INSERT key, places the virtual terminal (not the physical terminal) in INSERT mode. To take the virtual terminal out of INSERT mode, use the RESET command. For example, the following program segment inserts the string "to be" at the current cursor position and then resets the virtual terminal.

INSERT 
KEY 'to be' 
RESET
