   Thanks.  I got it working in JOE (Joe's Own Editor), which is my   
   preferred editor.  That helped, using a familiar tool.  I didn't know it   
   could do regex.  Here's what I used:   
      
      ^ku                go to the top of the file   
      ^kf                find   
                    the thing to find   
      r                  replace   
                the replacement thing   
      y                  "yes" do the replace, and find the next match   
      
   I decided to remove the leading space from the search.  I noticed that   
   that you put it in the parentheses like this:   
      
      \( .*\)   
      
   Perhaps I'll need that some day.   
      
   Note that in JOE "^y" is shorthand for "\(.*\)".   
      
   Thanks.
