I also change hundreds of occurrences of characters ``a la TeX'' in= =20 LaTeX files (say, \'{\i} for =C3=AD, `? for =C2=BF, etc.) with query-= replace:=20 Meta-Shift-% You can try Meta-Shift-% At the minibuffer prompt Query replace: type, say, =C3=82=C2=BF and at the prompt Query replace =C3=82=C2=BF with: type =C2=BF It will start showing each occurrence of =C3=82=C2=BF; you can type y= for =C2=AByes,=20 replace=C2=BB n for =C2=ABno=C2=BB. If after some occurrences you are= satisfied with=20 the results, you can type ! =C2=ABto replace all remaining matches wi= th no=20 more questions=C2=BB. When you are in the Query-replace mode, you can type Control-? to see= =20 all the options. Best Axel
