Globally changing the path to referenced files

[Art Campbell]

I'd strongly second the recommendation to use Archive to package stuff
up for the translators.

And my personal favorite for an editor is NoteTab (and Light).
Although for this kind of delecate search and replace, Text Workbench
would probably be quicker and more surgical.
