I would really like to have the >"Typ" or "Id" field information show up there. Can I control that? You are looking at the status bar and if you click on the Table View tab (just above the "For Help, Press F1" message), you will see highlighted the deed that is shown in the status bar. In the case of the 2nd field (empty in your case for this deed), it is the From entity of the deed. The fifth field (also empty in your case) and the sixth field (Num in your case) show the status of the Insert (OVRwrite) and Num Lock keys. However, I do not see that depressing the Insert key makes any difference in my installation although I never use it much anyway. You can find this under Status Bar when you press F1 to display the Help Index. Note that the content of some of these fields change depending on the View selected -- particularly the fourth field. As far as I know there is no way to select what is display7ed in the Status Bar fields except as noted above.
