  SET(SELF_INSERT)

  Determines whether printable characters are inserted when entered if no
  procedures are bound to them.

  Syntax

     SET (SELF_INSERT, string, {OFF | ON})

  Parameters

     string     Specifies the key-map list for which self-inserting is to be
                turned off or on.

     OFF        Disables self-inserting, causing the UNDEFINE_KEY procedure
                to be called when printable characters are entered.

     ON         Enables self-inserting, when the specified key-map list is
                active.  This is the default setting.

  Example

     The following procedure turns off and on self-inserting for the key-map
     list bound to the current buffer:

     PROCEDURE toggle_self_insert
        LOCAL the_key_map_list;
        the_key_map_list := GET_INFO (CURRENT_BUFFER, "key_map_list");
        IF GET_INFO (the_key_map_list, "self_insert")
        THEN
           SET (SELF_INSERT, the_key_map_list, OFF);
        ELSE
           SET (SELF_INSERT, the_key_map_list, ON);
        ENDIF;
     ENDPROCEDURE;
