renaming a variable

[Scott Prentice]

Hi John...

You can export the files to MIF and process them with Perl or some
scripting or regex application.

You might check out BookVars, which is specifically designed to manage
variables at the book level .. add, delete, rename, change (new "replace"
functionality coming out soon).
