Jon, if you're running Xy4 + U2, there's an easy way to handle this.
Just DeFine the non-standard characters and command CHDF "<Helpkey>.
(No need to bother with /// separators, and no need to transfer the
funny chars to the CMline; U2 handles that internally.) And CHDF/T
would make the changes over the entire file without the need to move
the cursor up to top of file first.
