So that I don't have to manually replace 50+ matches by hand. Computers should do that, not me!
Unless you're dead-set on coaxing the PE IDE to do it, Notepad++ & SciTE/Sc1 (and probably many other editors) can make such changes.
(Of course, Steve's programmatic method might be more fun.)

(BTW, although Notepad++ is my daily driver, Sc1 (available from Scintilla's SciTE download page) makes a great backup editor. In a nutshell, it is a SciTE installation (all 120 or so files) packed into a single .EXE. It seems to be impossible to reconfigure in that state, but it comes in handy sometimes.)
