Ken,
Thanks for the pointer.
I created an emacs macro (F3 to start, M-c, M-f, M-b, F4 to stop) and it
works as needed. It's interesting that using C-u 0 C-x e is supposed to run
the macro through the entire file, but it does not stop at the end. Instead
it keeps chugging along until I killed it with C-g. The entire file was case
coverted, too.
Doing a lot of text and data work within emacs suggests learning how to do
things within the tool.
Happy holidays,
Rich
