edits help

[Linda Gray]

i'm not worried about the length of the end string.  i need to replace the ' 
with an html friendly string like the toHTML command does, except it doesn't do 
the single quote.  it was suggested that i do it with an edit.

So you need to URLescape an ASCII string; that's your end goal?

My snap reaction is "you don't want to do that with an edit, because you
can't guarantee how many characters you'll have to replace, and you'll run
out of space".  You *probably* want to write code to do that, as difficult
as it is to handle functions in filePro.
