4. Replacing Characters
If a string on the editing line does not begin with the R, I, or D

characters in the replacement string replace the characters in the text
line on a one-for-one basis. If line 1 of the current file is:
1 Humpty Dumpty was a merry old soul,
you can change it to:
1 Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
with the command:
*FIX 1

..........Old King Cole
1 Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
