To the right of that is the Insert/Typeover Button, which toggles between Insert and Typeover modes.  In Insert mode, whatever you type is inserted before the cursor.  In Typeover mode, whatever you type writes over the text after the cursor position, replacing it.  Insert mode is in common use in most word processing and screenwriting programs.

NOTE: To enable the Insert/Typeover Button, Allow Typeover must be checked in the Text Entry/Editing area of the Tools > Options window.

Next to that is Line & Position, information, telling you where the cursor is located onscreen.

To the right of that is the Page Number Button which displays Current Page Number information.  Click on it to pop up the Goto Page menu.  A box on the Goto Page menu marked Goto Scene Listings appears.  This displays a list of Scene Headings to go to.  It can also be displayed by right-clicking on the Page Number Button.

If you're writing a document with Act Breaks and Scene Labels, such as a Sitcom or Stage Play, this button displays a list of specific Acts/Scenes to go to.
