Why do you assume that 1) AppleScript has a replace() function of some sort*
and 2) I don't know what I'm talking about?
If you'd like to go to the trouble of installing a 3rd-party scripting
addition that has a replace function ((Scripting addition commands are not
followed by double parentheses() ), I can recommend one to you. I don't
assume that everyone has the osax in question.
