  WPS Replace

  Replaces a range or box with the text you last copied or cut---useful to
  replace paragraphs or several lines rather than individual words or
  phrases.

  Steps:

     1.  Copy or cut the text you want to use.  Typically, you press the
         SELECT key, type the text, and then press the WPS Cut key.

     2.  Select or find the text to replace (see help on SELECT or FIND).

     3.  Press the WPS Replace key (GOLD-' or GOLD-").  You can then
         repeat steps 2 and 3 to make another replacement elsewhere.

  Usage notes:

  o  The replacement text is case-exact---WPS Replace does not change the
     case of the replacement to match the case of the search string.  To
     have the replacement match the case of the search string, use the
     REPLACE command (with the WPS keypad, press GOLD-; or GOLD-:).

  o  The WPS Replace key uses the INSERT HERE buffer---it does not use the
     clipboard or alternate paste buffers.  If the INSERT HERE buffer is
     empty, WPS Replace deletes the highlighted text without inserting
     anything.  To check the contents of the INSERT HERE buffer, use the
     command BUFFER INSERT HERE.

  o  With box editing, WPS Replace works like BOX CUT and BOX PASTE---useful
     to replace text in a list or table.  See help on Ranges And Boxes.
