Hi Alex:

Thanks for the pointer.  However, it seems to be treat delimiters funkily,
assuming only one hit per line.  (e.g. the following returns "apple xxxxx"
instead of "apple banana carrot xxxxx".

on mouseup
  put "apple" & tab & \
      "!nice/!banana" & tab & \
      "!031110/!carrot" & tab & \
      "!f/!xxxxx" into myBefore
  answer replaceText(myBefore, "!.+/!", empty)
end mouseup

Any ideas?  I want to delete _all_ occurrences of !<whatever>! strings.
