[GreenKeys] overprinting

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Provisionally, yes.  And no.  

If your machine is a 14/15/19/20/26/28 and you are printing what you are 
sending so that you can see what is being printed, you can send a CR, SPACE 
down to where you want to overprint, and print something (an X, perhaps) over 
each character that you wish to overprint.  Then space down to where you 
were and continue.  If the receiving machine is also a page printer, it will do 
exactly the same thing.  

However, if the receiving machine is a reperf punching tape, it will not 
work.  But if the receiving station prints from the tape, that will work as 
the printer will do the same thing that your monitor machine did.

If you are punching a tape, you can do the same thing but you will only get 
it right if you are also printing what you are punching.

There is no backspace on any of these machines that I ever heard of.  At 
least not the military ones.

If you are using a rubber band and door spring machine, then I don't know.
