How to get 'replace-string' to access the key-ring?

How can I make 'replace-string' to access the kill-ring so that I have a choice of whatever is in the kill-ring please?

Currently I have this in my config -

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(global-set-key (kbd "M-s-x") 'replace-string)

#+END_SRC

- but I can't find any way of accessing the kill-ring so that I can choose what text, or whatever, to search and replace for.

Its probably something quite simple but its got me stumped at the moment, and I can't find a solution on the web using google.

Thanks
Sharon.

The minibuffer prompt is very much like a normal buffer: You can use
'C-y' to yank the last kill, and then use 'M-y' to cycle through the
kill ring.
