Oh, okay.

To save people the search:  the trick is that the Replace menu is 
available only in the Search view.  So you start with Search/File..., 
specify your search pattern, launch it and then you go in the Search view 
and right-click/Replace (or Replace selected).

Cool.

That being said, it's not very intuitive, how come we don't get a chance 
to do this when the Ctrl-H dialog is displayed?  That's what threw me 
off.

Thanks anyway, Darin.
