     Mreplace («mreplace»)
          Performs a find-and-replace operation across multiple files,
          prompting for the find-and-replacement strings and for
          confirmation at each occurrence. Mreplace searches all the
          files listed in the special macro Mgreplist.
          See: Mgreplist
 
     Arg Arg Mreplace («arg» «arg» «mreplace»)

          expressions.
          See: Regular Expression
 
     Meta ... Mreplace («Meta» ... «Mreplace»)
          As above except reverses the sense of the Case switch for the
          operation.
          See: Case
 
     Returns
 
     True:  At least one replacement made.
