Hi,
I said I mistyped.  You must have missed the message in which I explained 
that.  Don't worry.  I understand.

No.  You were saying insert V was for virtual cursor, but insert V is
for verbosity settings.  If you reread you messae, you'll see you were
just mixing up insert V and insert Z.

But we still don't know where the virtual cursor went.  LOL.
