I have only had to do the 'position with a few lines and points. To achieve this I moved one point, a station as it happens, then looked at the difference in x and y co-ordinates from the old and new position. I then manually added these to all the other points by editing the text file manually. I only had about 30 points, so was lazy and just did it manually. However a regular expression search and replace would not be that difficult to write!
