Yikes! I must have pressed a key-combo that got me into an insert edit mode (deletes next char right of cursor as it enters what you type).

Can't get out without a restart. Nothing in Prefs or Prefs>Shortcuts that I can see which mentions this, geewizz Adobe what gives?

I have NO idea what you've done… You should take a screen shot and post that to better describe what your doing…

I had to Quit out. No screenshot. Basically cursor goes from typical blinking bar " | " to blinking (I think?) underscore " _ ".

This is a mode perhaps more familiar to those who used pre-GUI text editors where highlight then delete was not possible so Insert Delete mode was invoked to delete as you type…

Least of my worries.

Totally OT, I can't find the way to the reference the current document. (Wee bit limiting for me)

In Applescript I'd use " document 1" or "current document". I need to get the number of artboards so:

total = document.artBoards.length

or:

myDocument = this.document??

total = myDocument.artBoards.length

would seem to be what I'm looking for?
