Gee, that would do just what I need in searches . . . and the check is already there, and applies in the IDE search/replace feature . . .

hmmm . . .

set the whole matches to true
repeat while wordOffset(searchText, theSearchStrng) > 0
      put replacmentText into word wordOffset(searchText, theSearchStrng) of theSearchString
end repeat
