     The Replace function inserts or replaces characters one at a time.
 
     The character <ch> is the new character. It goes into the file
     specified by <pfFile> at column <x>, row <y>. If <fInsert> is
     FALSE, it replaces the character at the given position. If
     <fInsert> is TRUE, it is inserted at the given position.
 
     Replace is typically used in a loop to insert or replace sequences
     of characters. Alternatively, you can get a copy of a line with
     GetLine, modify the copy, and then replace the original line with
     PutLine.
