I am looking for a standard method to toggle the insert / overwrite mode in
a FL_NORMAL_INPUT box. It seems that the default mode is INSERT mode and I
would like to change the mode to OVERWRITE mode.

This need arises from the situation when a user types in an input box with a
maxsize set and a initial string of that max size is already in the box, the
input field simply beeps at the user and ignores the input. I would like to
be able to programmatically change this behavior to allow what the user
types to simply replace the existing value.
