The real problem here is that once you come out of the current insert or append,
and enter another one, you can't delete past the beginning of the insertion.
This means that you can only delete on character at a time, but you can 
continue inserting. Any answers out there? Myself, I'm happy with mapping
delete to ^H ^H, as I don't mind the text not moving backwards.
