It seems one would have a hard time doing that with existing emacs tools. One would have to query-replace to make x into a temp string, then do y->x, then do temp->y: to tough for the average user. Therefor please implement query-exchange: looks and feels like query-replace, but does exchanges... -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
