You want to change what?

A couple people have asked about a "global search and replace" function.
There wasn't one yesterday, but there is one today. The next time to
login or RESTART, type:

	$ GSR  file

where "file" can be a wildcarded filename or a single file. It will prompt for a
search string (can't be null), whether the search string is a TPU
regular expression (normally No, the default) and whether you want a case
sensitive search (normally No, the default). It will then open each file,
do a global search and replace through the file and write out a new one in
the same directory as the source if there were any changes.
