Character Replacement

[Darren Reely]

Bill,

Another possibility is to write a Quick screen to perform the processing
you were thinking of having QTP perform.  You don't need to run it
interactively either.

When a Quick screen starts it executes the INITIALIZE procedure.  Have that
procedure call other internal procedures as needed then place a RETURN (or
EXIT) at the end of it.

Here we have a line something like this:
        quick term=vt200 procloc=proc_loc dict=$PHD auto=screenname <
inputfile.in

We run on Sun Solaris.  The term=vt200 is important.
